How did the quote go exactly? Something like, "a pretty picture hangs on the wall. A work of art punches in the guts...."

Where do you find inspiration?From my grandfather, Thomas. Blinded at the age of 7, he, with his loving wife, overcame many obstacles and managed to run a successful business. After he established himself, he spent every working day doing at least one kind thing for another (customer, stranger, someone), not letting anyone know. I have spent my whole life shielded by his love. It has been an honor to do so. Now I hope to create art that will help others see the power of beauty and truth combined for the good of all.
What would you do with $25,000?First, I would take my husband out for dinner. He has truly been there for me. Then, I would give the remainder right back to this organization. My only ask would be that I could get involved in some way to make this project a success. Just let me know where to hang my hat. In the name of Thomas May Hunter, Jr., let's do some good for others. No matter what, thank you for this opportunity.
