I love creating because each breath taken in this life is an expression, a decision, and I want to be sure that expression is from my soul.

My favorite type of art is erotica with spiritually awakened symbology, the kind that grips your feelings from across the room and reminds you it's ok, noble, and exciting to be human with dreams and desires.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in getting to know myself and other people, seeing the gods, goddesses, and machines that run through our psyches. In listening to the calls of authenticity and saying what needs to be said. In moments that make us feel aliveness, as well as the feelings which do not, and the journey of nuance in between. Love, union, togetherness, non-duality, as well as healing, hope, and recovery.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in my sewing school and ethical fashion line that battles fast fashion, and start to build a safe and sustainable home on the land for my children and their families, so that they can be free to express their dreams and values as well.
