What is your favorite type of art to create?

Abstract Expressionism and Minimalist Textured Abstract

Where do you find inspiration?

From within my feelings and new views of life after an event I went through late May 2025. I paint to express what I can’t always put into words. My work is abstract, built through layers, texture, and movement using acrylic, oil, and mixed materials. I’m inspired by emotion, energy, and the process of letting go and seeing where each piece takes me. Every painting is a moment—something meant to be felt more than explained.

What would you do with $25,000?
