I enjoy creating conceptual and character-based illustrations that tell stories. I like making art that not only looks interesting but also has meaning behind it, especially work that reflects real-world issues or personal experiences.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from my own life, the media I enjoy, and what’s happening in the world around me. I’m especially inspired by current social issues and use art as a way to express ideas and spark thought.
What would you do with $25,000?I want the $25,000 to help pay for my college education as I work toward my BFA. My parents aren’t able to fully support my expenses, so this would allow me to focus more on my studies and growing as an artist.
