I grew up watching my dad and siblings draw, it inspired me. Now art is how I express myself and bring my ideas to life.

I love creating art that captures people. Painting lets me explore color and emotion, while charcoal helps me focus on depth, detail, and expression. There’s something powerful about bringing a face or moment to life.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in photos that tell a story. I’m drawn to the expressions, lighting, and details of people in general. When I create, I try to bring that photo to life, using paint and charcoal to emphasize mood, depth, and feeling, so each piece feels like a moment frozen in time.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won $25,000, I’d first pay off my medical debt. Then I’d put the rest toward earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
