What is your favorite type of art to create?

Paintings or sculpture., collages., creative writing, I love dancing, I love singing, and I've fallen head over heals in love with the art of using the bricks that life's thrown at me to stand on top of turning it all into healing,theraputic stand up comedy as I've learned to laugh at the hard times rather than cry. It's a testimony to my strength and how far I truly have come.

Where do you find inspiration?

Emotions. The seasons. Lsd. When I'm in love, or going through loss . ..Miles Davis!!, Radiohead, Cigarettes after Sex, the thrills and magic of the moments between our yesterday's sunrise through tomorrows sunset. Dancing in the ☔ rain.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would hands down get the jaw surgery I desperately need that my insurance will not cover for me. I'm tired of suffering in pain, unable to eat the nutritional foods I love, and isolating in my house due to embarrassment of my mouths condition. Please say a prayer for me, and I wish everyone the best of luck .
