About the Artist
Artist Asha Hanna paints surrealist portraits of the powerful women she encounters. She was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. From a young age, Asha painted as a form of personal therapy. "It was a place where I could express my thoughts visually," she explains. Once Asha started to consider pursuing a career as an artist, she struggled with her creative process. "I had to figure out how to preserve the pureness of these therapy sessions and also make enough money to eat." She persevered and went on to receive her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from Howard University, where she learned how to push herself and also how to navigate the art world. Today Asha works from a clean, organized studio in Brooklyn, which she describes as her happy place. Her painting process starts with a live model and she captures the scene with a photograph. "That photo is then drawn over and over to adjust the shapes until I'm satisfied. I then do many color studies. Once it's finalized, I throw on RnB and get to work!"

- House on the Hill, Original PaintingBy Kira YustakLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
"A woman is walking away from a house, and she is leaving behind her old life," says artist Kira Yustak. "She is deep in thought, wondering what her future will hold. She also has many memories in the old house that she called home. The painting is meant to be hopeful in the face of adversity and change, reflected in her large soulful eyes."About the Artist
Kira Yustak paints fantastical scenes that come from her childhood memories, dreams, and the natural world. Each piece feels like part of a larger narrative of an alternative reality, rendered in a style she describes as comic realism. She feels art must trigger something inside the viewer’s soul.Kira currently lives in New Jersey and finds inspiration in the work of Lowbrow, Folk, and Surrealist artists.Words that describe this painting: portrait, woman, house, home, landscape, sunset, folk art, naive, face, eyes, people, representational, primitive, acrylic painting, green, blue
