Art is a universal language that can speak to anyone that comes into contact with it. It is a neutral space for connection and expression.

My favorite type of art to create depends on expression or what I'm feeling that moment. My creative processes can range from abstract expression to mixed media styles. It varies depending on what I want to express that moment.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from the world I live in. Searching historic figures to environmental spaces, depends on what needs to be amplified or express. Usually, my inspiration is connected to dialogues that I want to express and share to the world and hopefully find the collective connection to share thoughts and emotions.
What would you do with $25,000?I would like to share this $25,000 with public school students who are inspired to become an artist. Creating workshops and artist grants for their own creativity journey. I would like to open a gallery with partnership with public schools in my community. I believe as a collective, it's important to share resources with others. It is one of many reasons humbleness and gratitude dwells in my heart. I want to give back and be inspirational leader for young artists.
