About Ava
My background
Welcome to my creative space! I'm a 17-year-old artist from Arizona, and I've been drawing since I was 10 years old. Currently, I'm still in high school, balancing my passion for art with other activities that keep me energized and inspired. Outside of my art, I love staying active. You'll often find me in the gym or on the track, where I compete in javelin, shot put, and discus. I also enjoy dancing, which is another way for me to express myself. When I'm not creating or working at Michaels, I like to spend time with my family and friends. Another thing about me is that I love music is a constant in my life—I'm always listening to something, no matter what I'm doing. You can find me playing video games, especially Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing or watching Youtube and cartoons. I try to incorporate my hobbies and favorite things in my art but for the most part I just like making pretty pictures. Art has been a journey of growth and self-expression, and my family has been a huge support in helping me develop my skills. I hope my work brings joy and inspiration to others, just as my experiences and passions have shaped who I am today.
My experience
Art has always been a huge part of my life, and over the years, I've explored almost every form of it, from digital work to traditional mediums. I took a lot of my inspiration to do art from my Dieda (Grandpa) who was a cartoonist and he was a great influence on me. He helped me through some tough times in my art and besides him I am all self taught in what I do. I have worked on my art skill for years and it did not just happen over night. I've had family support me and art teachers push me. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be the artist I am today.
My vision
I am looking to always be growing in my art and make money off of what I love to do. I've always amid to have art be apart of my future and I'm always finding new ways to give art to people like you. My goal is to have a fully functioning shop where I can sell all different forms of art. Soon I want to create stickers, prints, magnets and pins for my audience. Not only that but I am going to sell original art works and commission work so I can always have something new to work on. I hope that one day i can create something for you!
