Visual Art – Las Vegas

Yes, this is Anna. I\'m a 25-year-old who resides in Las Vegas, NV. My ultimate inspiration in life is my 6 year-old-son, Caleb. My love for art started with web/graphic design when I was approximately 11 years old, making websites and creating all of the images for those websites with PSP7. As I grew older, I had less time for graphic/web design, but had to feed my creative spirit somehow. What did I start doing, you ask? I began expressing my creativity through makeup (beauty, specialFX, etc.) One day, my face broke out due to practicing on it too much, so I had no choice but to let my skin breathe for a while. I then realized it wasn\'t just a love for makeup. I had an itch to work with a brush. Not just a makeup brush, but any kind of brush. I randomly picked up watercolor brushes & a watercolor set and fell in love with the medium immediately. It was sudden & unexpected. My brother, who was an incredible watercolor artist, passed away in 2002 and I (as odd as this may sound) feel as though his artistic spirit lives within me sometimes because never did I think I would have such an intense passion/love for watercolors. I now use watercolors & eyeshadow in my artwork.
