Visual Art – Boise

Hello! My name is Hadden, but I often work under the alias Sleepy Cactus. I'm a twenty-five-year-old artist, born and raised in Boise, ID. I recently graduated in illustration at Boise State University and looking to get more into today's art scene through mixed media as I explore taboo topics such as religion, politics, body image, sexuality, and mental illness. I work primarily with markers, oil/acrylic paints, oil/soft pastels, pen/ink, and charcoal. I have always loved to create while finding personal strength through vulnerability as I manifest my ideas and experiences in the form of craft for the public eye. I believe that art is a language of emotion, and I am extremely grateful for this opportunity that I have to support talented local artists while creating for others.
