HI I’M CIERRA and I have been immersed in the arts for as long as I can remember!  I was born in Monroe, La. I grew up some and then made my way to Baton Rouge, La. Sometime after that I became completely obsessed with art and creating art. Without the arts, I don't know that I would be the person I am today. I don't know anything else that I'd rather do more than be an artist. I want this FOREVER!

Describe your art in three words.

Vibrant, Expressive, and Colorful

Describe yourself in one word.

Friendly

What do you love the most about creating art in your community? What particular part of your immediate environment, in your neighborhood specifically influences your work?

I love creating art outdoors. There's something about natural light and fresh air that  spark my creative process.

Describe your creative process. Are there any rituals or rites of passage you exercise before you begin a new piece?

My creative process begins with collecting all my supplies and bringing them outside. I  find that I do my best work work when I am in an environment that is well lit and has much room breathe and move around.

Where do you draw inspiration?

I draw inspiration from just about anything really. It could be something as simple as a color combination I see, a texture, a tool. It's also not uncommon to draw inspiration from other art. I sometimes ask myself, how would I approach or execute this differently.  

Who are your artistic influences or gurus?

 I love Banksy :)

In New Orleans, art and music go hand in hand. What type of music, band or song lyric best describes your work?

 I don't know if Lofi music could be considered a type of music, but if so, that would best describe my art. There are typically no words,  similar to abstracts being non-subjective.  Nonetheless they both can put the viewer or listener in a specific mood I feel. Both can be interpreted differently based on the person.

Where can we find you when you are not creating art?

At home working on a DIY project, shooting a wedding, or at TJmaxx

What is your favorite time of day/day of the week/month of the year?

Lunch Time because food makes me happy/ Taco Tuesday because I love tacos and margaritas/ October because it's my birthday month and most times it's when the fall weather starts rolling in.

What is something people don’t know about you? A fun fact. 

Mmmm... I'll have to revisit this one lol.
