Art is a gift that is meant to be shared and bring joy to the people around us. Being an artist is a commitment, being a good artist is a lifestyle.
I am a young artist just trying to earn some money and share my work with others. I have taken multiple art courses through my school (studio art, art and technology, and AP 2D drawing) and participated in a two week long summer workshop at the Cleveland Institute of Art. My work has placed first and third in a local art show, as well as earning best of show over the past two years. I have received a total of three Scholastics Gold Keys for my work at the regional level, as well as three Silver Keys and an honorable mention. I am well versed in colored pencil portraits, but I also love oil painting and working in a variety of mediums. I have had experience in: colored pencil, chalk pastel, charcoal, acrylic painting, oil painting, watercolor painting, pen/ink work, graphite work, print making, mixed media, jewelry making, and photoshop. I enjoy creating portraits as well as logos/designs for business/bands/restaurants/etc., and pieces of fine art. I am more than willing to try new things and work outside of my comfort zone. Mostly I want to share my art with people and make something unique that my client could cherish, admire, and enjoy.
Work Terms
I have no set hours, you can contact me at any time. Payment is determined based on the amount of time needed to complete the job and what supplies are necessary. For less expensive jobs I ask for half the total cost as a deposit, and the other half after the job is complete (payment through paypal). A deposit amount for more expensive jobs will be determined based on total price of that job. E-mail is the best way to reach me! artbymimi9@gmail.com
