Gloria R. Shott Fine Arts Scholarship

Receiving the Gloria R. Schott Fine Arts Scholarship means more to me than I can put into words. I am, however, writing this thank you letter as an attempt to do so.

While I cannot thank the donors enough for their financial support, I am truly grateful for how this scholarship has given me the confidence I need to continue to make bold choices in both my artwork and my life. Thank you for this opportunity. I will not waste it.

Roy C. Moore Scholarship

I have been making art consistently since I was around three years old, but have found an issue: I wanted to do more with my art than make it for me to enjoy; I wanted to make art to help others and be able to visualize their plans and visions. I was also only able to create art for people around me and wanted a further reach than traditional art. The solution came to me when I learned that Digital Art was a growing trend that allowed worldwide reach thanks to the internet. This is what led me to change my focus on art from traditional studio art to digital art.
