Abstract

The artist's statement: Art has always been a huge part of my life. I was about nine years old when I decided that I wanted to be a graphic designer when I grew up. Being an artist was something I’ve always wanted and have been striving for since I was a little girl. I'm constantly inspired by artists showing their work to the world and creating art that makes people feel and experience things. Sha'an d'Anthes is one of my favorite artists of all time who does this. Her art is illustration based and child oriented which is something that I've always been drawn to. She has this ability to create youthful artwork that talks about important issues when needed and that is so powerful. This is something I am striving for in my own work. Being able to create child oriented art that also contains an underlying meaning or story is something that drives me in my creation. In my art, I am primarily drawn to digital illustration. I love digital art because it allows you to create works of art that can be easily shared to many different audiences. Sharing my artwork via social media has been my favorite method of reaching a multitude of audiences these days. Lately, a majority of my art has looked like children based illustrations. Children's books have been a massive inspiration for me this past year and the art I have been creating reflects that. These illustrations are one of my favorite things to put on social media and share with the world. My hope is that when people, young or old, look at my art they will be able to sense the childlike nature behind it and find joy in that.
