I love to create art because “it helps me get away from the harsh realities of this world, to a place of pure creation” - Rober E Maker OK

My favorite art to create is photographs. I love film photography and enjoy taking pictures of people and things which feel like a moment you want to lock away somewhere special. Film honors that in trustworthy nature.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in artists. I love capturing peoples creations, and if I can, them creating or really just doing something they have passion for. I find that that passion always shows through the photograph.
What would you do with $25,000?I don’t create art to be artist, I do it because I admires others who create so much. I love being able to capture that and show their creation in deserving and non boring way frankly. I would donate the money to artists I love like my teacher Yulia who teaches oil paint classes and is truly an aspiring artist. I would also donate it to a local keeper of art, just as on my universities campus or local art house which supports in house artists.
