My artwork is based on my little sister Sienna. I decided to draw her because I find her so fascinating, energetic and full of life. She has such a determination to learn and succeed and is very competitive. Though despite her confidence, when I watch her, I see an innocent and beautiful young girl, and this is what I hope to depict in my artwork. It combines her athletic character with her caring and vulnerable side. She reminds me of what it’s like to view the world from a child-like perspective and inspires me to live with less fear and hesitation.
