Ava Antonie I grew up Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the Bay View area. Growing up, I was surrounded by other artists and their work, inspiring me to start creating my own art; visual and musical. I am currently a junior at Ronald Wilson Reagan College Preparatory High School, taking the International Baccalaureate full diploma program. I believe that art is a critical part of the human experience and a valuable tool to interpret historical events. Economic and financial struggle as well as social justice issues are incredibly important to me and heavily influence my work. In my art I wish to explore and portray personal as well as universal experiences, feelings, and events. |
