Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My greatest inspiration in business is my faith. Every challenge I’ve faced—losing the use of my dominant arm, walking through divorce, and seasons of deep refinement—has shaped how I lead and create. I believe God gives each of us gifts to steward. Through my art and experiences, I use mine to serve and support high-achieving women as they reconnect with clarity, purpose, and the deeper calling on their lives.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated because I truly love what I do. Painting itself is healing, but what fuels me most is seeing the transformation in others. When guests leave my Sip & Paint experiences refreshed, inspired, or liberated, and collectors share how my artwork anchors their spaces and strengthens their faith, it reminds me that I’m using the gifts God gave me to serve others in a meaningful way.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If selected, I would invest the $25,000 into building a small team to help scale my mission. This includes hiring support for social media marketing, professional photography and content creation, and event assistance so I can focus on creating art and transformational experiences. With my recent CNBC debut, this support would help me reach and serve women on a global level.
