My art is deeply personal to me—I create handmade cards, wall paintings, and kids’ artwork as a way to pour my emotions into something meaningful. It’s beautiful to know that something created with love can touch someone else’s heart.”
Where do you find inspiration?My art comes from the quiet corners of emotion. I create handmade pieces to give form to feelings that often go unspoken. I’m inspired by the smallest, unnoticed moments—the ones we don’t realize are special until they become memories we hold onto forever. Through my art, I try to preserve those feelings, so they can be felt again… and shared with others.”
What would you do with $25,000?I would like to start my small handmade jewellery business .
