Behind The Ace.

I'm Corbin Hardwick, a 21-year-old artist and entrepreneur from Little Elm, Texas. As the owner and creative force behind Ace of Spades Art Co LLC, I'm on a mission to bring luck and beauty to every canvas I touch.

My Journey:

Born prematurely, I entered this world facing significant challenges. I live with a mild form of spastic Cerebral Palsy, which primarily affects my legs and impacts my ability to walk. I also have hydrocephalus, a condition that required the placement of a shunt to manage the buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in my brain. Despite these hurdles, I've never let them define me or limit my aspirations.

I navigate the world using a wheelchair or forearm crutches, but my hands and mind are free to explore the vast world of art. Painting has become my voice, my comfort, and my way of connecting with the world. Each piece I create is a testament to adaptability, perseverance, and the power of self-expression.

Family and Support:

At the heart of my journey is my mother, the guiding force in my life. Her strength, unwavering support, and guidance have been instrumental in shaping who I am today. At the young age of 12, I faced another significant hurdle with the loss of my father. This experience, while challenging, reinforced the importance of resilience and the power of a strong support system. Through it all, my mother's love and dedication have been my constant, helping me navigate life's ups and downs with courage and determination.

Overcoming challenges has been a constant theme in my life, but it's also been the source of my strength and determination. These experiences, coupled with the steadfast support of my family, have shaped my perspective and fueled my drive to succeed in both my artistic and academic pursuits.

Education and Achievements:

Currently, I'm a full-time student at Texas Women's University (TWU), pursuing dual degrees in Marketing and Entrepreneurship through the School of Business. My academic journey is not only shaping my artistic venture but also showcasing my commitment to excellence.

I'm proud to be a member of Beta Gamma Sigma (ΒΓΣ), the international business honor society. This prestigious recognition is reserved for students in the top 10% of their bachelor's business program. Founded in 1913, Beta Gamma Sigma has over 980,000 members selected from more than 600 collegiate chapters in business schools accredited by AACSB International, spanning over 190 countries. My membership in this esteemed society reflects my dedication to academic achievement and my potential as a future business leader.

Artistic Vision:

At Ace of Spades Art Co LLC, I put the luck of the spade in every canvas. My artwork is more than just paint on canvas; it's a fusion of creativity, fortune, and personal expression. I specialize in custom pieces that bring a touch of luck and style to any space.

Beyond the Easel:

When I'm not painting or studying, you'll find me soaking in the vibrant culture of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Music, travel, and quality time with loved ones are the cornerstones of my life outside of art and academics.

Professional Experience:

For two years, I worked at the TWU Student Union, gaining valuable experience in customer service and time management. Now, I'm taking the bold step of transitioning to online classes to focus on growing Ace of Spades Art Co LLC into a full-time venture.

Looking Ahead:

As I balance my studies with my entrepreneurial ambitions, I'm excited to see where this artistic journey takes me. My goal is to create art that not only beautifies spaces but also inspires and brings joy to others. Through my work, I hope to show that challenges can be transformed into strengths, and that art has the power to transcend physical limitations.
