The Guilty Feminist by Maria's Oils in New Westminster
The Guilty Feminist
This one actually was a cover-up of a portrait of someone who is no longer in my life *cough*. Because a giant painting of an ex is not necessarily my preferred decor, I decided to cover it with one of my favourite people: Deborah Frances-White. She's a comedian, activist and creator of "The Guilty Feminist", which is an amazing podcast that you should listen to right now....
Anyway, this is to date one of my favourite pieces I have made! And one of my first experiences with oil paints, which I've come to love!
Meet the Artist
New Westminster, CanadaI have been drawing and painting ever since high school spending hours and hours making pencil sketches of my favourite characters and of my friends. I spent some time at an art-focused school in the UK, where I grew to love acrylic painting, especially on big canvases. A few years ago started using oil paints to create some of my favourite pieces and both acrylic and oil paints are what I prefer to use today. I'm a very structured person so I like to use grids and a well-prepared guide to base my paintings on. For example, for a graduation portrait, I photoshopped the subject to be placed in a certain location, as the client preferred it.
I love art and to be able to bring someone else's vision to life, while also being able to support myself, is honestly a dream and I would love for you to be part of that! Whatever your idea or wish is, just message me and I'll do my best to give you a piece that you love!
