I love creating art because I get to represent the true beauty of something concealed!

My favorite type of art to create, currently, is abstract sculptures! I am primarily a 2D artist so delving into the 3D realm is something new and exciting for me. Additionally, most of my art background has come from representational art, so getting to just play around with shapes instead of worrying about depicting something real has been pretty fun too.
Where do you find inspiration?I find most of my inspiration from nature. I take a lot of pictures when I’m walking around my college campus and most of them are stuff like leaves trembling in the wind or the curves of the flower stems. I don’t know who said the quote originally, but to loosely paraphrase I think nature is the greatest architect, and all my work follows after her.
What would you do with $25,000?I would probably pay off my college tuition so that my parents have less to worry about. I’d also buy some art supplies that I’ve been meaning to try but have been too ambivalent to actually spend the money on. Or, I could reinvest it into a small art business or something… There’s lots of things I could do.
