Nakisha VanderHoeven

I was born in California and have been creating art since my earliest memory. I lived in San Francisco until I was ten when I moved to a tree farm in rural New York. Here I grew up surrounded by animals and nature. Currently I live in Seattle and continue to sculpt, paint and create as well as care for my adopted animals. My work comes from a desire to make things. I have always been inspired to recreate what I saw and convey what I felt through images. I love experimenting with color, and am attracted to objects and beautiful things, especially suggestive and functional ones.I like art that speaks to me on many different levels, art that I am always seeing something new in, and especially, art that has a sense of humor.
