Lately, I’ve embraced watercolor as my preferred medium. For most of my creative journey, I worked exclusively in grayscale and graphite; growing up, a pencil and a blank surface were all I had to bring my visions to life. Over the last decade, I found the courage to expand my horizons. Experimenting with color, blending, and new mediums has been transformative, doing wonders for my mental health and personal growth.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from a vast array of sources, ranging from personal experiences and nature to music and the depths of my own daydreams. I find beauty in the world around me, often focusing on the smallest details—the unique texture of a surface or the vibrant hue of an insignificant insect. Whether through grand landscapes or these subtle intricacies, I am constantly motivated by the diverse environment I inhabit.
What would you do with $25,000?I will use these funds to provide the deposit required to secure my current home and property. It is my life's goal to bestow this land to my children, ensuring they never face homelessness or displacement. My wish is to provide lasting stability for them and for the generations to follow.
