Creating art gives me a space to openly express myself without fear of judgment.

If I am using oil paints, I love painting landscapes. If I am creating with acrylics or pencil, my favorite thing to create are surrealism pieces.
Where do you find inspiration?My favorite artist is Clive Barker, and I have drawn a lot of inspiration from the pieces he has created over the years, especially from his Abarat books. I have always felt a strong pull towards weird and disturbing, but beautiful paintings and drawings that tell a story. Recently, I have been using world and personal events to inspire my creations.
What would you do with $25,000?My passion, beyond art, lies in helping the earth and changing the world. If I were to have $25,000, I would funnel the money towards that dream. I would help different animal rescue organizations, forest and ocean conservation teams, and try to do more than what I currently do to help save our planet.
