My name is Tyler Smith. I’m 19 years old and I’m an upcoming artist. I have been creating art since the 3rd grade. I loved art since then and always will. Art is my passion. I didn’t realize that though until the beginning of 2017. As a kid and up until high school I liked doing art, but I didn’t take it seriously up until about a year ago. Between the years of my life, I would stop and go, stop and go with art. I never thought it could be a career for me. It turns out, I was totally wrong. Art is all I want to do now in life.
