What is your favorite type of art to create?

I gradually fall in love with aspects of all methods I try, but deep down my favorite type of art to create is pieces I enjoy the process of making. Painting and photography will always have a special place in my heart because how I communicate my message through them, but recently I have tried more 3d styles like glassblowing. These tend to be more difficult, although there is something about the experimentation that makes the process enjoyable.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration from my surroundings. Whether that be from my personal life or from the nature around me. I believe there is a special connection we have to our environment that not only creates our personal identity, but also creates community. Art is a way others can step into my own shoes and see how I feel and experience, so drawing on my personal experience further creates this community and ability to be seen.

What would you do with $25,000?

The money would aid with my personal educational costs, senior exhibition project, and my dream to study abroad. Although a personal endeavor I wish to accomplish with the funds would be a youth artistic support within my hometown. To this day I still struggle to understand the art market and succeeding within this field. I wish to help others within my local city who wish to pursue this field by creating a space where they can gain experience in creating, exhibitions, and marketing.
