Myrtle Beach, SC

My name is Lakelyn Phillips and I am an aspiring artist from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. In my 17 years of life, I have always loved to create. I have enjoyed every second of art, from the moment I could scribble on walls as a toddler to being accepted into renowned art competitions. I have been able to further my artistic abilities at AAST as I am surrounded by supportive, intelligent peers that encourage and challenge me daily. Additionally, I am creating timeless memories with said peers and teachers. The resources provided to me have greatly inspired my creativity. I have been able to experiment with vast mediums including oil paint ,wire, chalk pastels, charcoal, watercolor, and others-- all broadening my skills and knowledge of art. Throughout the art courses I have taken at AAST, I have learned critical elements and principles of art that constantly follow me and my works. I primarily create portraiture and other pieces of work circling around human form. I do not only create for myself but others as well. My main goal is to produce artwork with intention, purpose, and meaning while simultaneously inspiring fellow artists. As I continue to grow and improve, my only hope is to dive deeper into my passions in order to have a fulfilling and successful artistic career.
