My goals as an artist are to capture real feelings and emotion on paper and canvas, and to bring joy to the people I do commissions for.

Probably traditional portraiture in charcoal, graphite and colored pencil. In an emotion sense, I really enjoy doing commissions for people though, and my favorite part is delivering the art pieces and seeing the joy on their faces when they receive it, it's a very rewarding type of art for me.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration flows from many sources- the haunting atmosphere of rainy weather, the rhythm of music, or the wonder of seeing art brought to life by others. These are the moments that make my fingers ache to bring pencil to paper and create! When I carry emotions that can only be expressed through the creative process, whether it's smudges and shadows, smiles or tears, storm clouds or starry skies, I'm always striving to capture what I see, and express how I feel, doing all to the glory of God.
What would you do with $25,000?I'm not really sure yet, but I'd like to use it wisely! Either buy a car, invest in an art studio and advertisement or save for the future. Then, Lord willing I could go full time into making my art business grow, so that I can continue to do what I love most as a job, and keep making people smile by doing commissions. 😊
