My favorite has got to be murals or big oil paintings. Especially when I get to have complete freedom with my purpose of painting or especially mixing medias to better showcase my topic.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration all around me, I find it in the simplest form of experiencing life at it's lowest and highest. The best inspiration I find is what keeps me going, this can be music, my supporters, love, trauma, events, and especially my community from my cultures.
What would you do with $25,000?If I were to obtain $25,000, I would fully invest on creating some sort of art program with my tribe within my future business that allows all ages from my tribe and anyone to have the opportunity to create any type of art they desire and pursue in it. I want to create the path that allows other Native American artists to pursue into the career path of art. Even if it is a hobby, I want to make an open space for those to strive into the artist they truly are meant to be.
