I love to create art to learn about, and see the beauty in everything around me. As well as hoping to inspire others to follow their dreams.

My favorite type of art to create would be imaginative realism. Think fantasy, sci-fi, and epic post-apocalyptic scenes with amazing characters. I also love painting portraits and studying the human anatomy in order to create better characters for the worlds I paint. I enjoy working with oil paint the most, but I also really like to work with ink, gouache, digital work, and even sculpting.
Where do you find inspiration?My main source of inspiration comes from admiring the old masters of painting and drawing from the past. Ever since I was very young I knew I wanted to be an artist and attempt to even come close to the skill level of the masters of fine art. But I also find great inspiration just in the world all around me. I am an avid lover of reading, films, video games, as well as music. I like to find inspiration in any and all things so these are just some of my favorites.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the prize money to help continue funding my dream of being an artist, as well as using some of if to help fund my very first car which would help me greatly. Lastly, I would like to give some back to my family who have been very supportive in getting me to where I am today.
