I create art out of loveāfor its history, its emotion, and the way it connects people across time and culture.

I love creating bold, colorful pieces on canvas, but I also enjoy painting on unconventional items like totes, flasks, and magnets. I’m especially drawn to designing unique characters, focusing on expressive facial features and proportions. My work blends creativity with personality, often experimenting with texture, color, and unexpected surfaces.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in both past and present artists, constantly learning from their styles, techniques, and stories. I’m also inspired by everyday life, emotions, and the energy of the world around me. Bright colors, culture, and individuality influence my work, pushing me to create pieces that feel alive and meaningful.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to fully invest in my growth as an artist. I’d upgrade my materials, build a stronger workspace, and give myself the freedom to create without limits. A big part would also go into growing my brand so I can share my work on a larger scale and turn something that started as personal expression into a lasting creative business. It would mean turning what helped me grow emotionally into something that can support my future.
