Friendship

Oil pastel

• Artist Statement

  A union between me and my best friend Zola is displayed through the energetic color and silliness of the portrait. I created this piece to represent our love for art and each other. I grew my passion for oil pastel and drawing people. Through this art I was able to gain a deeper understanding of myself and how to surpass mental limitations of what I believe I can create.

• Creative Statement

  Pushing past boundaries of what’s perceived as the correct way to do something and adding your own personal take to create something original. Being limitless and taking that extra step to make something challenging or different even if your scared.
