Have you ever heard the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words"? Well, it's definitely true for the work of teen artist Tyler Gordon. Tyler paints faces—amazing faces that tell the stories of some of the most famous people in the world. At 15 years old, Tyler has painted over 500 portraits of his heroes. Big-name celebrities—and even a world leader—have praised Tyler's work. Now, he's using his talent to encourage other kids to be creative and reach for the stars.
The road to greatness hasn't been easy for Tyler. He has a hearing impairment. He also speaks with a stutter. Tyler was bullied in school, which made him afraid to speak. But over time, he found another way to express himself.
