I create art or anything creative because it brings me peace.No matter how hard a day has been being creative helps me feel calm & grounded.

I like creating in multiple types of art, whether it's photography, traditional digital. I like to be creative in all types of mediums as long as I have it to my disposal to do so. But, I mostly create traditional art, either in my sketchbook or on a canvas. Sometimes a actual canvas other times it's furniture or a wall as well!
Where do you find inspiration?Most of my inspiration is just from life itself. I try creating things based on my emotions that I could be feeling, if I feel like life has gotten to hard I create things that feel like they could've come straight out of a story book.
What would you do with $25,000?My first priority would be clearing off any debt I have holding me back. I would pay off what I have left for college, so I can re-enroll in the animation course I was taking and continue to build my future to work in animation. As well as pay back my mom, she supported me in ways that I will never take for granted and I would love to be able to return what she's done for me. With what does remain I would put towards either a down payment on a home with my fiance or put it towards our wedding.
