Arts Council of Kanawha Valley

I am a proudly born and raised, native West Virginian artist. I am pretty well rounded with my art medians, and have been practicing art my whole life. I am 22 years old and currently attend West Virginia University Institute of Technology for Art and History and was a painting and ceramics student of the late Bob Simile.

The East End Bazaar, a project of Charleston East End Main Street, is an open-air artisan market featuring an eclectic mix of functional and collectible art and hand-crafted goods. It will also feature a full lineup of live, acoustic music and other entertainment each weekend.

I'm 24 from Charleston WV and I love painting and drawing in all media. My specialty is portraiture and the macabre. I've been drawing since I was old enough to hold a pencil, and although most of what I do is self taught I did have a good bit of high school art classes (including AP) and a wonderful teacher. I think that the most important job for an artist is to just be honest in our work, and so that's what I try to do. I use my artwork to express myself and be honest with how I feel.

Starving Artist for Hire Its hard for me to choose a category because I do a little bit of everything. Drawing, sculpting, fx makeup, costuming, painting, crafting, jewelry making, photography printmaking, i love it all. My favorite medium is pen and ink but i love all art. I'll do anything from bead sprite commissions of 8 bit character to full pinup paintings.
