I used to love painting when I was younger and drawing on skin with markers or eyeliners now I tried charcoal and began to love and understand how to draw with charcoal.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration from my emotions and my surroundings, I create when I need to feel peace or need somewhere to let out my emotions. My surroundings like my friends or family or even just being out in nature inspire the types of pieces I create as they give me something to draw from and feed my imagination to create artwork.
What would you do with $25,000?With the $25,000 I would definitely use it for school and living, Within the next year I will be transferring from my community college where I live at home to a university far from home where I will be living on my own pursuing my degree. I hope to use the money to fund my tuition and fees along with my housing expenses.
