Observational Figure Painting Painting

Hi! I am an architecture student that makes art for her own joy. When I paint, I enter this deep trance where I only think about my hand movements and color on black canvas. As a high schooler, I was fortunate to exhibit twice at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tony Bennett Gala, and New York City Department of Education in addition to corporate offices. My favorite artists are Caravaggio, surrealist Tim Cantor, and Russian painter Shishkin. I love Shishkin's bears :) I can describe my style as traditional and realistic, although I can slightly diverge by experimenting with new mediums such as gold foil, crayons on ink, and others.
