I create art because it helps me express my emotions when I had trouble explaining them, also it keeps my mind imaginative.

My favorite art to create is expressionism and realism, but any art project that allows me to be messy with the material. Especially when chalk, oil pastels, and paint is all over my clothes and my hands, that’s when I know I had a good time.
Where do you find inspiration?Growing up in NYC there’s inspiration EVERYWHERE, the places, the people, the culture, and most importantly the food.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put the money towards my college tuition, so I can become a 3D animator. Since I got admitted to Morgan State University my parents may need some help paying it off.
