Item Description

Capture yourself, a loved one, or an animal in a custom B&W charcoal portrait, by San Diego artist Tania Kelvin.

 

Artist Tania Kelvin has always had a passion for being creative and finding any artistic outlet to express her authentic self. With an adventurous spirit, she has explored life through diverse experiences, such as jobs including software production, Touring Motivational Assembly Speaker, and Undercover Private Investigator to name a few, but has never lost her love of the arts. She worked as a Photographer and in the entertainment field as a Make-Up Artist and Actress. She attended Academy of Art University (San Francisco, California) for Fine Art, which opened up her exploration of different mediums and refined her skills. There, producing 2D and 3D works, she was awarded Best Emerging Artist at one of the Juried Spring Shows she was chosen to be a part of. Her ceramic and bronze sculptures gained notice by instructors and art professionals, as well as her unique jewelry designs. More recently, she was awarded First Place in the 3rd Annual Southern California Black & White Juried Exhibition in La Jolla, California, for one of her charcoal drawings. She is often influenced by her love of nature, animals, travel, cultures, personal experiences, and emotional connections. And, sometimes will throw in her sense of humor or edgy textures. She likes to convey a message or story through her creations and her greatest satisfaction is the viewers' enjoyment.
