Are you looking for an artist or illustrator to work with?
As an artist, I always encourage my potential partners or clients to do their own research and decide who would be best fit for you. That includes choosing an artist that you not only admire for their style, but partnering with an artist who's values and branding compliment yours for future leverage.
Here's 5 things you didn't know about me:
1. The fifth grade was the first time I ever had my artwork exhibited in a museum. It was placed in an old art museum in Downtown Frisco (now reconstructed), Texas, where I grew up, that was specially selected by my art teacher at the time.
2. My artwork have been featured in 2 notable places. One is the Frisco Heritage Museum when I was 14 years old in an art contest I won and received a cash prize at.
3. If I'm travelling, I sometimes peruse around the new city with my actual camera (Nikon). One time I was taking pictures casually by the canal in Amsterdam. I did this and ran into a model who was the top 4 contestants of 'The Face' of The Netherlands (modeling show like Project Runway).
4. I once created a Judaic artwork piece for a synagogue in Dallas that I painted in oil a couple of hours before an auction event. I hated and was embarrassed of it. The artwork sold for $150 later that night.
5. In 2013, I was granted an ambassador scholarship with the U.S. Congress and painted a few art pieces for diplomatic relations. I became the first black female artist of the German parliament (Der Bundestag)-American Congress partnership to have artwork displayed there, at. There it has remained for almost 7 years now at Luissenstrasse, Referat WI4 in Berlin, Germany, at the Reichstag.
