The Lord blessed me with many gifts and talents, and I just want to use my talents for Him! Not I but Christ in me! Colossians 3:23-24
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite art would likely be usable, and wearable art. I mainly do custom leather work, but I also do woodworking and more. I do most everything by hand from start to finish and design all of my own products. I love to design and invent quality things that will not only last and be useful, but also be visually appealing. I've become known for my attention to detail, and creativity. And I give all the credit for my gifts and talents to the one who blessed me with them, my Lord Jesus Christ!
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration everywhere. There is inspiration in everything, the harder you look at the details, the more you will find if you are willing. I was able to stare at a drywall ceiling and see detailed designs in my mind one time, and then go to my work space and spend hours designing detailed patterns and putting them on paper from memory. And within a few days, be holding a finished functional product. The Lord blessed me with a special talent, He is my inspiration. Not I but Christ in me.
What would you do with $25,000?I'm not here to win, but to try and show how Christ blessed me. I pray the money goes to who needs it most. But if I did, firstly I would give back to the Lord what is His, and thank Him for providing for me in a time of need. Then I would invest in growing my businesses for me & my future family, and expand for more opportunities to use my talent for the Lord and to help bless others. I would also donate some to a local ministry I have donated my work to, that helps people in our community.
