Creating art feels like scratching an itch— turning ideas in my head into something real.

Although I consider myself multidisciplinary, my favorite art to create is often uses pencil, charcoal and toned paper. From meaningful portraits of family members to creatures and cartoons, it’s a classic art form that I can always rely on.

Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in life around me. Personal experiences, such as events or places I’ve been to; songs, movies, or even jokes I’ve heard bring color and images to my mind that I want to share. My art truly expresses parts of me and images in my head that I can’t explain properly with words.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d use $25,000 to help my family and pay off my student loans. Eventually I would like to start a business or two of my own to maintain some lasting stability, continue to support my family, and one day be able to help others through charity organizations in the future.
