TaNiah McQueenI have always been driven to be a "creator" where I can express myself through my work, whether it is painting, jewelry, or henna designs, or anything "artsy." Right now I am a sophomore in college, pursuing a career in Anesthetic Nursing. As a child I was always excelled in my art classes and loved temporary tattoos and creating new henna patterns on family and friends. I recently started taking clients for my henna over this past summer when i realized that I had had enough practice and could actually start doing them on others Pertaining to my artwork, I first began selling it when I was working with Mint Artists Guild as a teen artist for two years. Working with them allowed me to get experience selling my work at various fairs such as the Fernadale, Belle Isle, and Palmer Park Art Fair as well.. I was a able to find out what it was like to actually speak to my customers on a more personal level, and have a conversation about my pieces, which is very important because it allows the artist and customer to connect on a deeper level, which in my opinion is very important, especially when it comes to abstract artwork, which generally requires a higher level of understanding . Coming up with new ideas or revamping old ones is something that I really enjoy. I'm a person that doesn't mind stepping out of the box and dipping into new things. As you can see I pretty much like all forms of art. For my paintings, my favorite medium to work with is acrylic and a water color mix, because I can create free flowing painting with a more "ethereal" background to them. My style of work would considered more abstract because I often add unique elements because I feel that doing so makes the pieces more personalized. A lot of my work has a sort of blended background, as well as galaxies, to create a more "non structured" feel to them. I created this website to showcase the work I have done and accumulated over the course of a few years, that way I would have a platform that I can display all of my work in one area, as well as make it easier to contact me about purchases and commissions. |
