What is your favorite type of art to create?

I am a multidisciplinary artist combining painting, pyrography, illustration, portraiture, and installation. I have a fascination with perceptual diversity and how that influences each individual uniquely; to show this in my work, I combine figures with symbolic imagery using a bold, illustrative style and repetitive abstract or geometric patterns. These complex, layered works are inspired by my life experiences, bordering autobiographical realism and subconscious symbolism.

Where do you find inspiration?

My inspiration for art is through social impact, rooted in my experiences within resource centers and community studios supporting individuals experiencing a poverty-stricken lifestyle. There, I encourage the practice of self-awareness through creative practice and help build pathways toward stability through collaborative art programs, influenced by those who surround me in these artistic environments.

What would you do with $25,000?

I aspire to open a community studio dedicated to providing opportunities, resources, and mentorship for artists with complicated backgrounds. My goal is to create a supportive and inclusive space that nurtures artistic growth, self-expression, and collaboration. Through this studio, I hope to give back to the community that once uplifted me and to empower others to find healing and purpose through art.
