My Favorite Artist

One of my favorite artists is Niki de Saint Phalle.  I  am inspired by the whimsical nature of her work, the bright colors, and the incredible 3-dimensional figures that she made.

A few years ago, the Garfield Park Conservatory had a traveling show of her work. I took this photo inside the conservatory.

Below is an example of one of my own drawings. As you can see , I have been influenced by Niki de Saint Phalle.
