My latest artwork, "Shanin", is an 8.5" x 11" mixed media portrait on cardstock created with gel plate technique, bright acrylics, oil paint, and sharpie highlights. It features the radiant and multi-talented Shanin Blake—a pop singer, influencer, model, and artist—who somehow manages to juggle all of these creative endeavors while being a devoted single mom. This piece is as vibrant and layered as she is, celebrating not just her aesthetic but her energy, resilience, and impact.
To capture Shanin’s signature hippie-magical vibe, I used a mix of light pastels and vivid colors. Her dreadlocks flow in brilliant golds and straw yellows, radiating warmth and freedom. Her bandana is a striking red, subtly adorned with musical notes—an homage to her artistry and soulful sound. I painted the background and her tattoos in a luminous metallic aqua, designed to reflect light much like she does: effortlessly and beautifully. This portrait is a tribute to her powerful presence, glowing spirit, and the way she inspires others simply by being unapologetically herself.
