I have always loved to create art; create my imagination and to inspire others around. It’s always been a way to express myself and to grow.

My favorite type of art is painting; recently I got into oil paint but growing up it’s been acrylic. Basically any art form is fun and always good to change things around to find a new style and technique.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in anything really, it just really when I get it. Like I would be working and talking them out of nowhere I think of what I should do or what would look awesome on a canvas. My inspiration for some works have mainly come from my friends and family and just going out into the world and finding a vibe that fits me.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use that money to finish paying for my classes; I am an art major and what I want to do for my future needs a degree. I would also like to pay off my car and get a new place to stay.
