Artist statement:Hello! My name is Leia Cameron, I am currently attending Ronald Reagan High school. I started to get into art around 5th grade due to a new art teacher coming into my Elementary school. Her perspective on art made me want to live, eat, breathe art. I began to draw more and more often and now I draw every day to better my skills. I teach people how to draw Star Wars with my brother by creating videos weekly on the ICCC Facebook page (a vintage Star Wars Toy Collectors page). I love drawing with pencils, oil pastels, and have recently fallen in love with digital art.
I am deeply inspired by Van Gogh and Pixar/Disney animation. I have watched countless documentaries about Disney and Pixar and I love the artwork that they are committed to creating and their collaborative work style. I am in awe of Van Gogh's use of color and texture and try to manipulate my art the same way. It is my dream to one day work for Pixar's art department or to become an art teacher to pass on my love for art. |
