What is your favorite type of art to create?

I love photography. I started photography in 2022 doing it off and on. I really took it serious in 2024 after my dad passed away. Focusing on lighting, editing and capturing special moments really did save my life after losing my dad. It kept me motivated to move forward knowing he will always be with me.

Where do you find inspiration?

I’m enrolled in the Pawnee nation of Oklahoma tribe. I find inspiration by not just helping my own people but all people. To me photography captures moments that can be held forever by anyone. Being of service to all people really does help me keep going.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would buy my dad his headstone first and pay the rest of his debts off. I’d love to invest in some more equipment to continue my media journey. Would love to take my wife somewhere to spend some time together.
