The biography. My name is Skyla, you can tell I was named by an artist. I was born into a family of artists, and surrounded since infancy by all kinds of artistic craft. I was encouraged from the time I was in diapers to create and freely explore my creativity, in fact, I was nine when I very confidently, and ambitiously, completed my first self-portrait. That started something in me; I wanted to be better and so I went to the beginning: I painted florals and still life, then animals and human articulations before moving into landscapes. Now, as I continue to change and grow I am experimenting with abstracts. My weapon of choice is in this endeavor is the palate knife because I prefer the texture of the finished stroke. |
