Creating art, whether is the form of photos or beads, I feel is how I want people to see me. To be more appreciated and fulfilling.

I love taking pictures of nature, or painting abstract versions of nature, or people. I have come back to my tribe after years living away and have found I love to bead jewelry also.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration comes in many forms to me, people, traveling, the earth. In observation of everyone and everything, there’s always inspiration.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put that money back into myself and my small business, to make it more known and jumpstart a website where I could showcase my work. I’m usually a person that hides in the shadows but I want to be someone, people know. Where I’m not just someone’s little sister but people can see me as a true artist as my own.
