My favorite art to create is macro photography, first moments, sunsets, sunrises, and humanity captured through emotion and detail.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the world around me. I don’t just see it—I feel the intensity of color, emotion, depth, humanity, sunsets, sunrises, and the beauty hidden in ordinary moments. Life experiences have made me deeply aware of emotion, empathy, and the details many people overlook.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won $25,000, I would invest in my photography journey and create a stable future for my children. As a single mom who has overcome the loss of my husband and is now battling a rare disease, photography has become my escape and my healing. Through my lens, I share love, beauty, emotion, and resilience with the world. This opportunity would help me continue creating meaningful art while building a better life for my family.
