I create art to give a voice to imagination. I blend emotion, faith, and myself onto canvas that can tell my story when I can’t find words.

I love creating paintings with acrylics and doing photography. I typically paint where the wind takes me, but lately I have loved combining religious topics with politics. Photography is special to me because you are able to capture moments that will last forever. Through art I would like to continue expressing that there is evil in the world but it’s not each other or even worse, yourself. There is always something to look forward to. You got this!
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the words written in red, song lyrics, and the inspiring light that my family shines on me. Wouldn’t be able to do any of this without their love and support!
What would you do with $25,000?I would put the award money I could receive towards buying a bigger house for my family to live in comfortably. We have four little blessings and it would be incredible for each of our kids to have their own room. Additionally, I would love to use a portion of this money to buy art supplies and receive my certification to lead Art Healing groups.
