Hi! Hello!

​

My name is Ava, I'm 21, and an artist based in Portland. Ever since I could hold a pen I just wanted to draw, and draw some more.

​

Having sparked a desire to share my experience with recovering from an eating disorder in my high school Studio Art Class, I have developed a collection of 13 artworks over the past few years. My work is sold as stickers to be a statement of self-love and acceptance that you can proudly display wherever you go. I intend to protest the beauty standards that cause so much pain amongst many of us by using stickers as a way to start conversations about body acceptance and inspire others to embrace their unique selves. My artwork highlights the functionality of the body, recognizing its intrinsic biological beauty and strength.

​

I explore a new understanding that my personality and the functionality of my body is a lot more interesting than my body shape, or where fat exists on it. I hope everyone can respect their body for its intrinsic biological beauty and strength.

Oh... and when I am not thinking about how my body looks, I can appreciate the joy of life around me so much more. I think it's like putting on glasses for the first time when you didn't even know you needed them.

​

I release new sticker designs with the plan to continue sharing art that empowers us to exist in our bodies with comfort and ease.

Creating and appreciating art is one of life's gifts!
