Through the darkness we rise by Charissa Vanderbilt-McVay in Detroit

Hello! I am a self taught artist. I’ve been painting consistently for 3 years now. I have taken two art classes for leisure. Art is my fuel for living. I am a nurse and a mother of six. I use a lot of blue and I love texture art. I have painted landscapes, animals, abstract, and portraits. I make a playlist for different kinds of paintings and I dance while I paint.
