Summerville, SC
My name is Braden Laird. I have always been interested in the arts and have been influenced by my friends, family, and teachers to create works of art that are aesthetically pleasing and filled with abstractness. I was born in Wichita, Kansas to my two parents, who continue to motivate me to this day. I was introduced to the world of creativity and visual arts as a little kid. Doodling became drawing, and people around me began to notice the unique skill I had acquired. Soon then, the requests for different characters from movies and cartoons became my priority. It was at this moment that I realized I had something special. I had a sense of creativity that inspired me to create works of art that supply more depth than what I had experienced prior. After many years of art classes and camps, I feel like I have developed a talent that displays my artistic values through personality and perspective, that is unique and like no other.
