My art speaks for me in a way that my words can’t. It’s the way I express myself, process my emotions and experiences.

I love to create art that reflects the state of my mind or my heart. Art that tends to fall into surrealistic and figure paintings.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my inner processes. Visions that God downloads into my mind to bring onto canvas to further understand an emotion or experience I have lived or am living. However, I’m currently finding a lot of inspiration from my students since I am Pre-Kindergarten teacher.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest into higher quality materials, start an investments account, and steward this reward to both benefit my family and I.
