I want to show people that there’s opportunity in turning found things into extraordinary art. That’s why transforming trash brings me joy.

My favorite type of art to create is upcycled sculptures. It gives me the opportunity to use multiple mediums to create something 3 dimensional.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration anywhere outside the house. Taking walks in rural or downtown areas. When I look down I almost always find something cool to use. Whether they’re plastics, metals, toys, loose rubber, string, etc, I use them all. My artist friends in Jacksonville inspire me too.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the money to provide resources to the local arts academies here in Jacksonville. Resources that will make it easier to clean these streets by turning waste into value. There are programs focusing on community sustainability and I want to be a part of the building of them.
