    I want to thank you so much, every time I am able to get funding and as a result I share my skills with the world and I hope to inspire the next generation to pursue their dreams.
    I will buy paints for a public mural project.

    The project was a graffiti mural to commemorate Hiphop culture at 50years.It came together nicely and the reception was immense and I got contacts that led to another job opening.
