I create art to express my feelings and passions in a way that I can’t through words.

Mixed Media is my favorites because I get to combine all my favorite elements into one piece, like painting and drawing. I love letting my creativity flow and doing whatever feels right in the moment, no matter how impulsive, and mixed media allows me to express myself the best.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere. I go through each day looking at everything through my “artist’s eye.” I’m constantly analyzing people’s faces, architecture, nature, advertisements, whatever is available really. Of course, that also includes master artists who I study often. Even if I don't become successful, I will never lose my spark for creating art.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put it towards my college tuition. I’m a junior in high school, and I know it would mean the world to my parents if we received financial help, and it would help us towards saving for the school of my dreams, Academy of Art University! :)
