Hello! My name is August and I'm an illustrator/ Painter who creates vibrant acrylic paintings with embroidered embellishments to add texture and a tactile element to my work. I am drawn to paint childlike or dreamy subject matter in what I feel is a subconscious attempt to recapture the happier naive outlook I had as a child. I am often inspired by memories such as having tea parties as a kid with my grandma, and things I enjoy in my day like looking out at power lines and hanging out with my cat Boo. I take formal inspiration from modern day surrealist artists and folk art.
