I have OCD so it’s difficult for me to accept imperfection, but with art, it’s not supposed to be perfect. Art allows me turn off my brain.

My favorite type of art to create is mixed media. I love combining different materials to create texture in my work. I know I’m not the most technically skilled artist, but mixed media allows me to express the emotions I want to in a way that feels truly like myself. It gives me the ability to transcend my technical skills and experiment while creating something meaningful.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the people around me. I love the people in my life, and they are the reason I am able to chase my dreams. All of my work is a tribute to them. Every piece I create carries some part of the people I love, whether it’s in the medium or the symbolism, every piece of art is about my loved ones.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would invest in my education. I want to help my family ease the cost of college because they’ve already given so much for me. I know this amount won’t make a significant dent in what I will owe, but it is something I can contribute right now. My family is the reason I’ve been able to pursue what makes me happy, and I want this to be one of the first ways I give back to them.
