I carry the mentality that all things in some way, have a purpose even if unseen in the present. My traditional work is meant to show this.

I have a strong preference for 2D works. I enjoy both digital and traditional medias, though the works I receive the most praise for my traditional work.
Where do you find inspiration?I find myself particularly inspired by the work of Norman Rockwell. I aim to emulate his work in my traditional pieces. I am also inspired by the worlds natural beauty, and the faces of those I love or have been loved by others.
What would you do with $25,000?I live in midwestern town and I do not come from wealthy ilk. I have not yet graduated high school but when I do, I intend to use this money for college. I wish to pursue art full time, but where I live, that won’t be easy, and I will need to prove my artistic talent by receiving proper schooling.
