Back in high school, I couldn’t draw… at all.

So, let’s start the discussion back when I started creating using a photo editing tool. I was about nine years old. Like many nine-year-olds, I was fans of movies and television shows that most parents who were not, or are not, mine would say were too old for me. I created a lot of fan art, some fan videos, and things like that. The more I used the photo-editing tool, the better I became.

I branched out from doing fan work, and started making art from public domain images, essentially making collages from what I found online. Many years, and a few hospital stays later, I started fooling around with a different photo editing tool, one which has become my go-to for any art I may make.

Today, I no longer create fan art with those tools. Today, instead, I create what I like to call ‘poster art’, from either public domain images or my own photography. My style evolves the more I create, and will hopefully keep evolving as I grow as an artist.

Back in high school, I couldn’t draw… at all. Every art teacher I’d ever had told me that, for me to be a good artist, I needed to have a good foundation drawing realism. No matter what I did, I could never draw anything realistically, and I found myself crumbling under the expectations these teachers put on me.

But, I had a really, really good boyfriend. He taught me that, if I just drew, I would find myself inside of my art, and that not all artists start off the way he did, drawing realism. He helped me find my own style, and today, over a decade later, I bring to you, caricatures.

These caricatures are my inner demons, for the most part.

Don’t forget photography! Sometimes, it’s better to see in abstract, whether up close or farther away. What we see through the lens of an eye creates our entire world.

With poster art, caricatures, and photography, have fun and meander!
