Portrait of Taylor

This is Taylor. Taylor is the type that will light up whatever room she walks in. Taylor’s the type to ask what’s wrong when she sees the slightest problem. Even in the portrait you can see how bright her face is as if it lighting up the whole painting.

Portrait of Cecilia Playa aka Cplaya

I chose my sister because I feel as if she has been through so much and never shows it… She’s also created a career out of her childhood room and now has gained a huge following. I look up to her and hope to be as successful as her.

Portrait of Peyton Pogue

I chose myself because I am a very positive light in my own life and when nobody is here, I’m here for myself.

Portrait of Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her intransigent and brilliantly colored self-portraits that address identity, the human body, and death. When I first heard about this contest, I immediately thought about Frida Kahlo. Frida has always inspired and motivated me to push myself even further. For me, she’s a bright light in my life, which is why I painted her.

Portrait of Arianna Grande

She doesn’t scare easily. She is quite short. She is 28 years old and was born June 26, 1993 in Boca Raton, Florida in the United States. Her favorite cereal is Coco Puffs. I like her songs.
