I’m most drawn to creating art that feels intuitive and expressive—often abstract or fluid pieces that let energy, movement, and emotion guide the process. Influenced by my background in architecture and landscape design, I’m always exploring balance, space, and flow, but I try to let go of control and allow something more organic and personal to emerge.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in stillness, nature, and the quiet moments most people pass by—the way light moves through a space, the rhythm of trees, or the feeling after meditation. My background in architecture and landscape design also shapes how I see balance and form. Often, inspiration isn’t something I search for—it’s something I notice when I slow down enough to be present.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it in both growth and creation—expanding my real estate business with thoughtful marketing and outreach, while also supporting my art practice with materials and dedicated time to create. I’d set aside a portion for experiences that inspire me—travel, nature, and meaningful connection—so the investment continues to return not just financially, but creatively and spiritually.
