I love to create art because it is a way to express myself when I don't know how to and has helped me get through rough times in my life.

My favorite type of art to create is graphite art, I enjoy shading and creating things with just paper and pencil, a lot of the time mixing media to have fun. I always enjoy trying new media for artwork as well, recently I have had fun working with wood burning and carving.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from my surroundings, nature, and especially my emotions. If I have very strong emotions usually something amazing forms in my mind and I create some sort of amazing piece of artwork. I also derive inspiration from other artists', but I like to take their art style and see how it would look if I tweaked it myself, which is always fun.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won the $25,000, I would use it towards my college tuition and some new art supplies. I want to use it towards my future and my ability to create more art and hopefully inspire others to do what they love.
