PRISM by Chanel

A part-time, self-taught artist out of Cleveland, OH, drawing has been my first love since I was a child. Although I always wanted to be a cartoonist, drawing was merely a hobby for me until January 2016 when I began doing commissioned chalk portraits of friends and family while raising an infant. Four months later, my best friend suggested I try painting, and I pulled out an easel and paint set my mother bought for me when I was 16 and did NOT paint, and the rest was history! I hosted my first paint party in January 2017. Although I am self-taught, I did take 2 art classes in high school that are the foundation of what I have taught myself nearly 10 years later. This is where I learned different techniques and minor details that I recall today and continue to build upon as I create. Thanks to the support of family, friends, and complete strangers, I hosted & instructed paint parties for over a year, and painted over 50+ commissions from family portraits to inspirational moments, and have art collectors in over 9 states across the U.S, all under Prism by Chanel. I hope to continue to share my colorful and passionate visions and artistic expression with the world, bring the visions of myself & others to life through my artwork, and one day become an animator, creating vibrant & dramatic cartoons for a major network. Thank you for helping to make my dreams come true!
