I have been making art my entire life, it's what drives me and gives me purpose and regulates my emotions.

I love to create art in all mediums from painting to fiber arts but my favorite type of art to make is celebrating the human body. I love to showcase the natural lines of the body and highlight the uniqueness of the individual.
Where do you find inspiration?Im constantly inspired by every single person I see passing on the street or in a coffee shop or even on the internet. Human beings, the experience of being a living breathing person on this planet is what inspires me to create.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in myself, I currently work out of a small bedroom in my apartment but this would give me an opportunity to expand my studio space and finally invest in some new equipment that I believe would bring my projects to a new level. I have struggled all my life living paycheck to paycheck and making art as much as I can between 40 hour work weeks, it would be nice to get to put art at the front of my life for the first time and see where that takes me.
