“The jobs that we work are noble professions, but in desperate times, during the hardest moments of our lives, we seek comfort in the work of artists.”
— Payton Sprau, inspired by John Keating, Dead Poets Society.

She has been drawing ever since she could pick up a pencil with her tiny, ravioli baby hands. She dreams to work as an animator at one of the many Disney-owned franchises.

Artist Statement:
“I believe that animation and art as a whole is what we live for everyday. The jobs that we work are noble professions, but in desperate times, during the hardest moments of our lives, we seek comfort in the work of artists.
I want to give comfort to people who need it, to provide a mouthpiece to those who are different than me who deserve for their voice to be heard.
I want to watch the generations after mine grow up in an environment that was influenced by the tolerance and acceptance that we as artists formed and pushed into the world. “
