I love getting lost in the process, I love learning & improving my skill and I treasure being able to express myself so greatly through art.

I like to create character or portrait based art. Preferably of black women depicted as angels, gods, or other mythical beings
Where do you find inspiration?I find a lot of my inspiration through music!
What would you do with $25,000?I would give a portion to my family members who has helped me. Recently I found myself getting laid off from my job with only my art and my family to lean on until I got back on my feet. And they’ve never complained or even asked for anything back, so if I could show my gratitude by repaying them.. I absolutely would! And with the rest I would invest in some equipment to make even more art!
