Visual Art – New York - NYC

My name is Kaki. I am a New York City based artist, but my heart is in the South. I grew up in Virginia and then decided to move north. Soon after starting a corporate job, I realized that my life was not full, so I took a leap and left my job to pursue something much more creative, whatever that may be. My absolute favorite part of any day is being able to say "I'm an artist," when asked what I do. I have always been an artist - it's in my blood. My paternal grandmother was a wonderful person and a talented artist. When I am painting, drawing, or creating in any way, I feel more connected to her and to my roots than ever. I love creating in many different mediums, but nothing is really quite as beautiful as watercolor. I am fascinated by the way I can play with color to communicate depth and light through a simple brush stroke. I am also interested in digital art because of its dynamic nature. However, I am always excited to explore other techniques and see what else I can do.
