Creating is the boat that keeps my passion for art afloat.
I started my artistic journey in 2015 as an unknowing 11 year old, doodling random videogame characters I was fond of. Little did I know, I had started the road to unlocking my inner artistic potential. Now, 6 years later, I'm creating various pieces of art that ranges from cartoon illustration to realistic paintings.
About Makayla Hampton
By Makayla Hampton
From a very young age my life has been dedicated to art of any form. If I didn't have a pencil and paper in my hand then I found a crayon and a wall, or a marker and a tabletop. After versing myself into the visual arts and developing a wide-range skill set, I decided to challenge myself and take on another form of expression. Getting my first guitar opened the pandora's box of potential I had never known about, and the undiscovered musician hiding within me sprung to life as over the years I have taught myself 5 instruments. Along with my artistic ventures, I help care for roughly 8 dogs and 7 cats all of which are part of my responsibility as (self diagnosed) zookeeper.
A Tribute to the Beatles
May 1st - May 13th
This painting of one of the most influential bands in history was inspired by somebody I care for deeply. She was the person who introduced me into the wonderful world of the Beatles and sparked my immense love for both her and the music. I decided to show my gratitude for their work by painting a portrait of each member from the Let It Be photoshoot. From left to right I painted John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr each in their own lighting's to allow the viewer's eyes to be drawn to each portraits with ease. I strived to do these guys justice because their work is the biggest musical inspiration in my life, and I wanted to show that not only through my own playing, but art as well.
