I love creating art because it makes us stop and think. I love that my art can have many meanings and interpretations from viewers.

Abstract art is my favorite art to create. I usually create my pieces with pencil or pen, but I’ve tried oil painting and wanted to experiment by adding my art style into an oil painting.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my emotions or the emotions around me. My art varies depending on the mood I’m in while creating the piece. When working in my art book, I usually start with my loved ones names, creating pieces that represent them in my life or our relationship. When I work with anything abstract, I tend to lose myself within the art, and it creates something special. My art also changes with the day, you’ll be drawn into the piece as lighting and angles shift.
What would you do with $25,000?With the $25,000, I would invest in myself and create even more artwork by learning new techniques and adding to my skills. I would work on bigger projects that capture a multitude of meanings. I would have the time to mix my art style with other forms of art and create something entirely new.
