I love to create because it allows me to become a vessel to channel unseen energy into a perceivable form.

My favorite types of art to create are works that feel like alchemy. Art that transforms emotion and energy into something palpable. I’m drawn to create things that resonates with people on a deeper level, where it can be felt before it can be fully understood.
Where do you find inspiration?I am inspired by transformation, intuition and introspection. Transmuting my own experiences and that of my ancestors is where my true inspiration lives.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it as a tool for alignment and connection. First, I’d remove anything weighing on me or limiting my creative freedom. Then, I’d invest into my art and purpose. I’d pour into experiences that deepen my appreciation of artistic culture and knowledge by travel, artist retreats, and visiting places that inspire and reset my energy. Most importantly, I’d invest in a studio space not only for myself but also for my community, where local artists have a space to grow and create together.
