I create art to escape the mundane world as it allows me to step into a more abstract and colorful world, where imagination never ends.

I tend to lean towards oil painting cause it adds texture as well gives you more room to to work with.. meaning blending is easier for me as it doesn't dry. You can come back the next day and still be able to blend and mold the colors in any way you see fit.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration through the beauty of the world, in the pain, the joy, the failures, the achievements. Everything holds character and is inspiring. Everything has beauty, sometimes you just have to be looking for it.
What would you do with $25,000?In all honesty. I would get an apartment as well as a vehicle so I can finally support myself. And have my own area to make as much of a mess as I want in order to create beautiful artwork. My artspace tends to be on the messy side, and i don't have the luxury of going out and buying new supplies.. so I kinda just improvise and use what I have..
