Pastel Pieces: Woman is an Art Form

I started pastels my sophomore year of high school and continued on with an art degree in college. I began my series surrounding women to donate to an art auction we were having as part of a fundraiser to stop abuse against women. I have continued this series and really enjoy the direction it is taking. I have donated several pieces to various charities, have used them as personalized gifts and have given them to console those who have lost someone in their life. I love to customize pieces. If you are interested in commissioning a piece, email me at angiemarie1021@gmail.com.

Here are a few pastels I have done.
