Lynx Nguyen is a former SCAD student who received his M.F.A. in painting. Lynx is a busy artist who juggles three jobs while being both a husband and a father. His advice to young artists is, “You have to have a plan of success, and do one small thing daily towards reaching that goal no matter how tired you are.” Lynx’s personal daily plan of success consists of working at his three jobs and then coming home at midnight to work on his artwork. Sometimes he will even stay up until 6 in the morning working on his craft. All of Lynx’s works are contemporary and he makes all of his pieces in an innovative way.
