Surfside Beach, SC
My name is Kaden Chewning. When I was a child, I admired people who created. I was praised for my success in academics, but the ability to draw seemed out of reach to me. I spent my younger years determined to get better at art. As my art skills improved, people began to admire me and “artist” became a part of my identity. I love making art because it makes me feel connected to my inner child. I think that it's my purpose to create and I am dedicating my life to that.
Right now, I am working to improve my art through the Advanced Art program at The Academy for the Arts, Science, and Technology. The Advanced Art Program gives me the resources, time, and guidance to create stronger artwork and increase my skill set. So far, I have become proficient in a variety of mediums. My skill set includes but is not limited to watercolor painting, gouache, colored pencils, charcoal, and other mixed mediums. So far, I have received Honorable Mention at the South Carolina State Fair 2023 and I plan to participate in more competitions.
