Art has always been there for me through my whole dark life it has been the light that keeps me going. I have so much to say without words.

I gravitate towards surrealism but it depends on the feelings I'm experiencing. Art comes to me in waves. The majority of my work is a nightmare with a twist of hope inside of it. I love any and all mediums and I am always experimenting and learning from other artists. Usually I find myself reaching for the pen, markers, acrylics, and coffee most of all. I go where I am naturally led.
Where do you find inspiration?This one is hard because I feel like I find new inspiration every single day. When I was young it was Dali, Van Gogh, Picasso, Friday, old Disney movies, and weird off shoot 60s and 70s cartoons and movies, like The Last Unicorn. I sit in nature a LOT and I'll just listen and watch for hours with my sketch pad until I spark an idea. Sometimes I'm funny though (believe it or not) and I will draw weird little monsters with puns. I also really get inspired by Del Toro and how imaginative he is!
What would you do with $25,000?I would start my own art collective for the people that always felt that they were not good enough. I wish I had had someone that believed in me when I was young. I gave up because of it and I just think there are so many talented people we will never get to see because of lack of money and confidence. We need art now more than ever. All art is good, it comes from our soul and reaches the people that cannot do it themselves. We are needed desperately right now.
