Why I write about other artists

 I love writing about other artists.

"But Sky? Aren't you afraid of pushing people towards the competition?"

Afraid isn't the right word. I feel more helpful than anything. 

Because if someone doesn't resonate with my art, but resonates with another- why convince them to buy from me?

In other words, the Art Community (at least the one I want to build) is about lifting one another up. Any of us trying to make a living from their art could very well use a new customer. 

And I know the work it takes to become skilled as an artist. 

The hours of study, the years of practice, the cost of materials...

It's a LOT. 


Besides, 

My collectors are out there somewhere. All I require of myself is patience and persistence. 

I'm in no rush on my journey to success. 


Nothing wrong with taking my time :)

My name is Skylan Abraham. I'm a 23-year-old woman with an admiration for all things creative. I am mother to three boys and a fiancée to my best friend Jacob. Art has been a part of my life since I was young, and it'll never NOT be a part of me.

The Name and the Artist

I n the past, I was timid, quiet, easily overspoken. I gave an air of maturity, that I could claim, but that description no longer fits me. Don't get me wrong, I'm still meak, mature even, but what now lays underneath that veil also lies someone willing to change, to take courage, and speak up for herself and for the vulnerable mother that she is, that I am- unsure of where I should take my next steps in life as an independent woman, and to what direction I should travel in the journey to guiding my children. I want to communicate, connect, have fun and enjoy life to the fullest of my capabilities. I want to be unafraid, encouraged, and motivated. I want to be the best version of myself possible; making progress one day at a time.                                                         * * * Y ou might not suspect my timidness or my worries upon first greeting; I'm of Slovakian build with wide shoulders that make me appear intimidating and, paired with an overall thick bui

Discovering my Passion

       I understand how the whole "my passion found me" line seems like a total cliché but it does have its merits. In my 23 short years, I've only experienced true, soul-serving, focus-obsessing, work-encompassing passion once in my life. I've had plenty of interests run across my plate but nothing had ever wet my palette as much as art had.       I t started as a small flame and grew into an uncontrollable need to create and improve as I did so-- here is why I'd describe it as a passion finding me: I had been scrolling through Netflix, you know, as we often do, attempting to find a new show to watch, and I found myself stuck on this cute Japanese animation. It was the first one I'd ever watched, but there was just something about it that I couldn't take my eyes away from. T he lead, I found, was everything I wanted to be. She was kind-hearted, accepting, loving, a hard worker, hopeful; the ideal daughter and friend. Not that I wasn't any of th

Lighting and Mood

     * A uthor Tidbit*  As some of you may know, today is the kick-off to the artist feature project! I'll be featuring a new artist every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday -starting today forward- taking an in-depth look at a few artworks that best embody the featured artist's style, talent, and skill. You're welcome to leave a comment, and if you like their work and want to learn more about them or to see other artworks, links will be posted at the end of each feature for you to follow. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about the raw hearts behind the work*       W ith that said, allow me to introduce our very first artist for this project, a digital artist with a passion for animals and someone who doesn't take "light" lightly: Artist Taylor Frost.       P ictured below are just a few of her animal portraits. It's easy to see how much thought went into the lighting and drama of each artwork. Paired with the light is the absolutel
