I believe art has the power to change people's perspective in very powerful and transformative ways for the better.

My journey began with Canvas paintings while watching Bob Ross teach me about shadows and light almost 10 years ago. I have since branched out into the technological space and have begun learning how to 3d model and 3d print sculptures and prototypes as well.
Where do you find inspiration?My primary inspiration as a Christian artist would be the noble sacrifice of Jesus to redeem Earth. That story inspires me to overcome my own personal petty squabbles for just a moment so that I can accomplish something greater than myself. I'm not perfect, I make mistakes, but Jesus has taught me about forgiveness and never giving up on life.
What would you do with $25,000?Well pay taxes for starters, I appreciate the nice roads and and electricity, internet, water, first responders, etc. Other than that I would like to pay off all of my debt from loans I've taken out over the years trying and failing to start a small business. I would finally be free of compounding interest and it would alleviate a great deal of financial pressure for me.
