Welcome to Art by Autumn Szabo

I became an artist as soon as I could hold the right utensils. I started what I would consider "taking it seriously" around 2016. I was in 7th grade. It very quickly consumed a big part of me. Its one of the main things I found joy in. It certainly had a part in getting me through the tough times back then. My family has been super supportive through all of it. Supplying and gifting me with art supplies before I was able to get my own really jumpstarted my career path into this. Once I was able to do it myself, it really took off. By opening my new online art store I'm hoping to make it a big part of my life, and share my art gallery with others.

As of right now, everything for sale or commission is black and white. Portrait realism with a slight grunge twist. The grain/grunge effect comes from what I use as my medium. White colored pencils, black canvas, and a white chalk pastel! Its super fun using things in less traditional ways. I found this method a while ago when I was bored and I drew Link from Legend of Zelda. Since then its been my favorite way to draw portraits and such. After the drawing and shading is finished its covered in a layer of spray enamel and Gel Gesso to make sure it never fades or smears. Plus it gives it a nice shine!

First I'd like to mention my family. My grandpa, mom, and fiancé have been supportive from the start and they inspire me to take it further every day. Every aspect of my life is heavily influenced by music and nature. Inspiration for art, lifestyle, and a better outlook on life in general. When I create pieces I listen to music that I feel "fits" them. While I'm drawing musicians I'll listen to their music. It makes it more fun and personal. Having a good connection with what I create makes everything seem to come together more smoothly. I hope when you buy a piece from me you're able to feel how much time is put into it and be reminded of the things you like; just like how I feel when I'm working.
