My name is Christopher Ace Inglima. I live in Long Island with my mother Karen, My father John, and my brother Nick. Growing up as the youngest person in my family, I was always thought of as a baby. My parents always saw me as the little baby because I guess I have that face that doesn't show maturity and no chiseled features. I always saw life as an opportunity to meet good people, and also to not take life too seriously because we are not here for very long, and we should live life to the fullest. Unfortunately, for me I've spent my whole life inside because I was never able to meet people with common interests.

Art has allowed me to escape a bad day. Whether It was the fact that I've failed a test, or my teachers gave me a hard time, I always reverted back to making crafts, and drawings in my room, just to alleviate the stress. Last year in the ninth grade, I took studio art. Our assignment was to construct a sculptor out of recycled materials. I loved to make three dimensional objects, so I jumped on the chance to do something with cardboard. My first thought was to make a motorcycle, which I did. I had never worked on anything more in my life, and it made me happy. When I finished it, I felt so good about myself, and the teacher gave me an A+. The only reason I enjoy sculpting and building, is because I was never good at drawing, but I made up for it with building. I don't have a specific inspiration, but I do admire the great sculptors of history and the beautiful art they made with their hands.

My father is a contractor. He always loves to see the outcome of something that he had made. I guess I inherited these traits from him because I am the exact same way. Whenever I get into that creative mode where I am determined to make something work, or make a dream a reality, I wont stop until I do so. If I work with a partner, I would have to know if he is doing the work that I want him or her to do. So I usually work better alone and what I work towards comes of better when I work alone. That is my story. Who knows. Maybe there are people who are just like that. Just like me.
