Hi! I'm Aaliyah! I like to paint a little bit of everything, including scenes from movies and games. One of my favorite styles to paint is abstract because I get to experiment with colors and new techniques. 

What does being a Black girl who paints mean to you?

Being a black girl who paints means that I get to do what I  enjoy, painting, and be celebrated at the same time. Painting is one of my favorite things to do so it also means I also get to share that with the world, not just my family and loved ones!
