My Daddy and Papa have always loved art, so I grew up in a home surrounded by art from around the world.  When I started preschool and brought home my first piece of art (a rabbit made out of construction paper with a cotton ball tail), my parents immediately scanned it and put it in a book for me.  Now I am going in to 5th-grade and every single piece of art I have ever done is archived and in professional art books.  Because of that I have always seen myself as an artist.

Everything is art.  And we make art all the time.  I think people forget that.  They think art has to be a certain way and they judge their own art as bad.  I know I am a good artist right now at 10-years-old, but I hope I can remain an artist once I grow up.  

I have been learning about art all of my life and I am going to share some of my art here with you.  I am still learning and taking all kinds of classes.  I hope you can see that I am serious about art.  To be good at art you have to practice at it - just like writing and karate.  You have to build your art muscles.

Since my two dads always archive every piece of my art, I decided that I wanted to do something important with my art.  I have made a set of cards with my art on it to sell with 100% of the profits going to Heifer International.  Their goal is to end hunger and poverty.  The profits will help me purchase animals for a family that will help them support themselves.  If I give chickens, they sell the eggs.  If I give cows or goats, they sell the milk.  When any of the animals have a female baby, they give it to another family.  They call this “passing on the gift.”  That is what I want to be a part of.
