My name is Ayden and I love to create, to be inspired, to inspire others and to have something in life that I am passionate about. Something that I have a mental and physcial drive to do. For me this is creative arts withinn the entertainment industry. I have a theatrical and tv background from being a wannabe actress when I was a teeny bopper, and one day I would love to work in tv or film in the applied arts field. Maybe in costume but primarily scenic art. I am an organised little soul too, I like to priotitise and delegate and make sure things are meeting deadlines and running smoothly. So maybe when Im old and grey I will retire on foreign shores having worked and travelled the world with at least one credit of Artistic Director under my belt :)

My love for stencil graffiti, when further explored, turned out to be a good artistic challenge. Acetate photocopies and projection is much better indoors however than a giant stencil.
I got basic stencil images and projected them onto canvass and painted them. Easy peasy, but very effective looking!

The overall look of the painting is very washy, pale, girly, and almost innocent looking. It really tested my patience as I felt like I wasnt happy with it until the very very end, but Im glad I took my time with it. Scaling up is obviously much harder than just projecting an image, but its much better in terms of a good challenge.

My name is Ayden and I love to create, to be inspired, to inspire others and to have something in life that I am passionate about. Something that I have a mental and physcial drive to do. For me this is creative arts withinn the entertainment industry. I have a theatrical and tv background from when I was a teeny bopper and attended theatre school, and one day I would love to work in tv or film in the applied arts field/an art departmental role. Perhaps in costume but primarily in scenic art. I am an organised little soul too, I like to priotitise and delegate and make sure things are meeting deadlines and running smoothly. So maybe when Im old and grey I will retire on foreign shores having worked and travelled the world with at least one credit of Artistic Director under my belt :)
