About 85 Artistry:
"I am a versatile artist who embraces various mixed mediums, allowing inspiration to flow from the life experiences and environments around me. Art serves as a source of relaxation and has deep roots in my family, particularly influenced by my talented mother. After her passing, I felt compelled to honor her legacy by channeling my creative gifts into my work, which spans from portraits to resin and wood, often blending different materials. Life itself fuels my creativity, as art offers a unique perspective that reflects individual perception and sensory experiences." Website: www.85artistry.com Instagram: @85artistry
