I create art as a way to process my emotions, thoughts and be appreciative of what’s the world around me; what’s beautiful to me.

My favorite type of art to create is expressive surrealism. You can definitely tell what the headspace I was in when a piece is finished.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the events and experiences of my own life. Because my style is expressive, I tend to focus on whatever is affecting me at the moment, often dramatizing these emotions through painting. This is where surrealism comes into play, while there may be a recognizable, real-world object at the center, it is usually surrounded by imagined or fictional elements that reflect my inner perspective.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000 I would put it towards going to graduate school in, an apartment near the school of my choosing and helping out my family.
