Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from artists who transformed their reality, built solid careers, and created their own businesses. Since moving to the United States, I’ve started approaching my art more strategically, focusing not only on creative expression, but also on growth, consistency, and scalability. Today, I see art as a valued profession with real potential for financial growth, business development, and social impact.

How do you stay motivated?

I believe in the value of my work, and I’m motivated by seeing art become accessible—whether for small businesses or communities that can now invest in it and incorporate it into their spaces, both commercial and residential. This deeply motivates me, as it breaks the idea that art is distant or inaccessible. Seeing people value and connect with my work drives me to keep growing and expanding my business with purpose and vision.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I plan to build my own studio and structure my business. As my work continues to grow, I see the need for a space that allows me to expand beyond murals by developing new products with my art. This studio will be essential to expand my presence in the market, making my work more diverse and accessible, while also creating new revenue streams. I also plan to use this space to offer art workshops for immigrant women, fostering connection, creativity, and opportunities through art.
