What is your favorite type of art to create?

Inspirational art , I’m a storyteller, I use real life expierences to create meaningful pieces of art that ppl can relate to and be inspired by .

Where do you find inspiration?

My inspiration comes from real life experiences, places, people and life and I create to inspire

What would you do with $25,000?

If I had $25K, I wouldn’t just invest it—I’d pour it back into the community that shaped me. I’d expand my art workshops for special needs and low-income children, giving them a safe space to express themselves, heal, and discover their creativity. I’d provide supplies, mentorship, and real opportunities for these kids to feel seen and valued. For me, it’s bigger than art—it’s about impact. If I can reach them, I can teach them… and that’s how we change lives, one child at a time.
