I love to draw—I can spend hours doing it—but I also paint on canvases or jackets. I truly love drawing everywhere.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration is everywhere. Music inspires me greatly—as does going out into nature, observing everything around me, and taking macro photographs of insects; seeing them inspires me to paint or draw them.
What would you do with $25,000?What would I do? I would surely buy more colored pencils and sketchbooks. Furthermore, I deeply desire to share my knowledge with children in my native country who haven't had the chance to own a good set of colored pencils and notebooks—materials to create art and learn. I dream of opening an art school, and that money would help a great deal.
