I was born with Moebius Syndrome and art helps me make sense of things, and show that different isn't bad or scary but can be beautiful.

My favorite type of art to create is anything that can make someone feel something, anything that can make someone look at my work and if it takes their minds away from the stress and worry from everyday life for just a second that is the type of art I want to make and strive for! I love to paint flowers and animals moslty cats and birds but also other things I find so much beauty in animals and nature. That is why I make my own flowers and bouquets and handmade jellyfish, flower lights etc
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration all around me in my family in my bad days and good. In moments that make me feel something or if I dont know what I am feeling, I also take a lot of inspiration from that. My family is a great inspiration they inspire and push me to strive to be the best version I can be, so a lot of what I do, I do it with them in mind. I look for inspiration everywhere but nature and life in general is a big inspiration to me!
What would you do with $25,000?We live in a small town with maybe 2000 people in NC. Times are hard right now, we rent a small trailer with $25,000 I would like to try to set up some stability for us with a permanent home. Also I would like to have a proper area to do my art if i can even a small one. I am a regional coordinator for moebius syndrome foundation which is what I have. I want to use some of this money to help them and try to bring some more awareness and connect people not only with moebius but all disabilities.
