Sweet Vicious Designs
In the beginning, I couldn’t establish a name for the art business. I wanted it to connect with me as the artist and an individual that could other people really relate to. As someone growing up with the current political and environmental climate, as a woman, and as someone who still has excessive love and longing for life, that despite the hardships and ugliness in the world, we find a way to make it beautiful for ourselves and for others.
My Story
I’m not great at public speaking or small talk and many social interactions feel very awkward to me at first. Even if it’s not true and I’m just overthinking, I leave majority of conversations cursing myself for something awkward that I had said or done. I found myself gravitating towards the arts where I can express myself in visual ways. I loved being able to create and speak through the work. It’s where I found myself most comfortable and vulnerable when sharing with others. I want to create a space where expression isn’t dulled and people feel welcome and free to be themselves.
A Play on the Taboo
Growing up, I had always been afraid of death. It was something that plagued my life more than I could have fathomed. It stopped me from taking risks and experiencing things that I wish I had. It stopped me, for a long time, to chase my dreams and pursue things that seemed out of reach. But I continued to be drawn toward these pieces that almost romanticized the idea of death. I became enraptured by works that blended darker concepts with cuter, friendlier ones. As I grow as an artist, I hope to emulate this almost taboo-like fuse of cutely twisted art.
