I started making art to show the world that everything is art, even if you've never taken a single class. Beauty comes in different waves.

My favourite type of art to create has to be the art that comes unexpectedly and heavily. The art that I didn't expect to create, but instead just flows out of me onto the canvas. Usually the ones I don't plan, turn out to be my most powerful and moving works. My art is unique and unlike anything else, it's made from doubt but turns into such a masterpiece.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my hope for my thoughts and the world around me. I paint what I feel because I hope for a better world to come.
What would you do with $25,000?I would finally be able to breathe for the first time in a long time. This amount of money to anyone is a large sum, and it would change my life right now. I could finally stand on my own two feet and get my art career where I need it to be. I would be able to not have to worry about having money for my kitty food, let alone food for myself. This would completely change my life. I could pay off my debt and start fresh on a better route.
