Artist: Elise Kendrick
Most people describe me as a little weird, which is okay because I've come to realize my reality tends to be different than most people's; which I believe to be true of most creative types. I grew up in Gahanna, Ohio, doing arts and crafts in the kitchen with my siblings and mom. My mother, whose also an artist, nurtured my creativity from a young age and led me to believe I could be anything I desired. In college I majored in art at Tennessee State University, where I focused on jewelry and metals, but it wasn't until I was rejected from multiple graduate programs that I began seriously painting. For me, painting allowed me to push through the pain of not feeling good enough to be an artist, as well as show me a talent I didn't really know I possessed. But, more importantly it showed me to not let rejection cripple me. I see painting as my second chance, and I'm finally ready to let my inner light shine.
Congratulations to Elise for being featured in The Frist Museum, National Museum of African American Music and Oz Arts Nashville. What a gift to watch her shine so bright!
