*****About DesignsbyAdina*****
I am a Boston Artist working and selling my art within the Boston and surrounding areas.
The age of 14 is when I really got my start in becoming an artist. My family started a community newspaper called "The Boston People's Voice Newspaper". It is here that I became versed in graphic design and started to become increasingly interested in the arts. Eventually I was recruited as the official Graphic Designer for the newspaper and began to gain knowledge in aesthetics, visual and graphic art, along with a general love for art.
Having to teach myself the ins and outs of designing a 36 page newspaper at a very young age and into my late teens, I became hungry for more knowledge about the arts. I enrolled in Pine Manor College as a Visual Arts major. My classes, such as Art History, Computer Graphics, and many other painting courses also helped to increase my intrigue with the control that visual arts represents. In acquiring my Bachelor's Degree in Visual Arts and a minor in Business, I have a love for art of all mediums; it allows me to represent myself and express the compassion I have for the arts. It has also prompted DesignsbyAdina; my artist name as well as the name of my growing art business in which I showcase my artwork as well as sell commercial and private pieces. Through this channel, I have been able to establish myself as a professional artist within my community.
The long term goal I have for DesignsbyAdina is to open an art gallery within my community for other artists like myself to showcase their artwork where they will have a place to grow their artwork and skill sets.
Mediums I have professional skills in, include: Charcoal, Oil, Watercolor, Acrylic, Gouache, Pencil, and Pen and Ink.
Currently I am teaching private art lessons for beginners, both children and adults. Also, I have recently launched the DesignsbyAdina product site at www.cafepress.com/designsbyadina and my original artwork is available for sale on Amazon.com.
You can join my mailing list by emailing [email protected]. Joining my mailing list will keep you updated with calendar events for upcoming showcases and newest original pieces for sale.
