Visual Art – Portland

I\'ve been obsessed with color and art for as long as I can remember. I grew up with an artist for a mom and loved to sit by her side, watching her paint, and helping mix her colors to match whatever picture she was painting at the time. As a teenager, I got the chance to go to Europe and see amazing works of art that, centuries later, people still flock to see. Further driving my passion for the art world.I had always wanted to be an \"artist\" but life got in the way, and finally I took the chance to start selling my art on Etsy, changing from my normal medium of canvas and acrylic to tailor it to the market of children\'s décor. While I will always have a passion for abstract impressionism, I do like to try out different styles. I started out in college working towards a fine arts degree with a minor in psychology, but eight years later it’s still a work in progress. My family and I made a drastic move from Arizona and the hot desert to the beautiful Pacific Northwest . All the amazing outdoors and cultural opportunities are just bursting with inspiration!
