I create art because it is my passion. It's what I want to do in my life because it makes me happy.

I love to create graphite drawings. It's a medium that anyone is able to learn and is most often the first medium artists learn. And for me to be able to use it to render beautiful works of art is fantastic. It's the medium I excel most in due to the simplicity in value and the precision of a fine tipped pencil.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration has come from the people around me. I've always been told that I have a creative mind and a natural talent for art. And the ideas that I've heard from others always gets my creative gears turning. Just general conversation or experiences that I share with others has lead to me creating some of my best work because I'm able to make ideas come to life.
What would you do with $25,000?If I were to have $25,000, I would use it to hopefully support myself financially. Not only be able to put a roof over my head, but to pay off any debts I have as well. But if I were already set with that, then it would go towards my education. To pursue my skills in art in a professional, educational setting, is something that I would need. I want to be the best I can in this field and $25,000 would help exponentially.
