Hello, since I was 9 years old I have loved creating art. When I paint I feel like I create art to life and for a moment I feel peace.

Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration is within me and through my children. My daughter had cancer at age 9 and since her recovery I have been inspired to never give up and give back until I have nothing more to give. Sharing art with the world.
What would you do with $25,000?Open up my art studio which is a paint and sip that I closed due to pandemic. I hope to open up a mini bar with a paint and sip studio and continue my mission of 1 fundraiser a month to give back to those that are fighting cancer. I work in the medical field and working hard to put money together to make my dreams come true. My mission is more then art. It is creating art into life giving back and sharing the gift that God gave me.
