I’m a versatile artist drawn to mixed media gouache, watercolor, resin, and acrylic on wood. I love layering textures and depth, and I handcraft my own frames so each piece feels complete, intentional, and uniquely mine.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everything people, moments, photography, fabric textures, and the beauty in everyday life. Even small details and emotions become stories I translate into art.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it into bringing my long awaited clothing brand to life. It’s a faith based line created to inspire healing and connection. This support would allow me to finally produce, build, and share something meaningful with others.
