Because art is the voice for the internal emotions. it's raw, untamed and wild.

I just love to create. I think art in all of its forms is beautiful. I don't think I could choose a favorite. I love writing poetry When the urge hits me, I love to create with my hands. I love to make something better than what it once was. letting my shadow do most of the work is the best art that comes from myself, in my opinion. its like your hand isnt your own. I have no idea what I'm actually making from the moment I start. I just let my hand speak for my shadow etc.
Where do you find inspiration?from within myself, hiding in the pain of trauma. or nature, And the love I have for my children
What would you do with $25,000?I would have the opportunity to become more stable for my children but also to be able to provide art materials to my family and donate art supplies or even start a non-profit for encouraging people everywhere of all ages to give art a try. it's not about how great you are or how well you know the 'rules' of art. About self flexion expression and community enjoying oneself feeling as though there are others around you and now there's something to do when maybe there wasn't before
