What is your favorite type of art to create?

Abstract colors. I process my emotions in color and painting. It helps me then be able to talk about my emotions.

Where do you find inspiration?

The depths of despair lmao. And my dreams

What would you do with $25,000?

I would get a car that works. I took care of my mom for years after my dad suddenly died. Right after he died, she was diagnosed with early dementia. She also has type 1 diabetes. I'm sure you can imagine the difficulty. I left the only place I felt was my home to move somewhere I could care for her. It took all of my money and my sanity. So now there is no money left for my basic needs and care for myself. My car is on its last legs and a dependable decently used car would help me
