As a Christian, creating art is where I feel closest in fellowship to God. It is my way of sharing my light to others.

I love creating impressionistic paintings and colored pencil drawings. I used to work more in realism but I found impressionism is a better way to convey my style and emotion onto a canvas. To me, art is about the artist's expression and talent. More importantly, I love art with stories and feelings behind it rather than shallow or generated “art”.
Where do you find inspiration?My biggest inspiration is God and His divine creation. Whenever I see a sunrise, the mountains, or even people's faces, I see God's creative hand. Seeing and appreciating color gives me peace and joy. I also am inspired by the support and love from family, friends, and teachers.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won $25,000, I would finish paying college tuition and find ways to give back to others.
