Creating art is writing a love letter to myself and to show the world that no matter what happens in your life art is a journey back home

My favorite type of art to create is work that tells a story. I enjoy capturing emotion and moments that feel like they carry something deeper than what’s immediately visible
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the shows, movies, and video games I engage with. I’m drawn to how they build worlds, characters, and emotions, and I translate that energy into my own work
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to fully invest in my growth as an artist. That includes upgrading my tools, building a stronger foundation for my creative work, and giving myself the space and stability to focus deeply on my craft. I would also use part of it to share my art with a wider audience and bring my ideas to life on a larger scale.
