My favorite type of art to create is Mixed Media! I love taking broken, discarded, lost, and or otherwise “trash” and repurposing it into a visually detailed piece. Where others often see disposable junk I see potential to create intricate works of art.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration comes to me through several forms of art. From music that stirs various emotions in me, video games that are nostalgic and immersive, visual novels with rich and wonderful detailed imagery, and especially other artisans whose creativity pushes me to experiment and grow.
What would you do with $25,000?If I had $25,000 I would be able to make my childhood dream of building my own art studio with a small store front into a reality. It sincerely would be a dream come true!
