Hello. My Name is Samantha Pollard, and as a Native American my name is "Mother Black Bird" or just "Black Bird" for short. I am 19 years old and I am a professional artist in San Antonio Texas currently working as a Caricature artist in Six Flags Fiesta Texas. I am also a metal head, singer, dancer, Anime fan girl, traveler, teacher, a freak and proudly the last member of my tribe. I’ve been drawing since I could pick up a pencil; art has always been a huge part of my life and is my definite future. In high school I took AP Art Classes at JMHS for two years, and currently go to Northwest Vista College working on a Fine Arts Degree. My specialty and signature styles in my art work are my oil based paintings in photo-realism and fantasy-realism I also love to draw and sketch in many different styles using different mediums; mostly I like to draw people and those who inspire me or my own anime characters. I also like to write my own stories of personal life experiences and opinions, as well as my own manga and animes. I’m a huge perfectionist who takes after her grandmother "Rena Santa Cruiz" who is also a well known artist in Arizona. Art is my life and my goal in it is to make art so beautiful that it'll inspire others or at least one person to love art and appreciate it as much as I do. This may be the dreamer in me talking but I want to bring the world together using my art work and inspire others to become artists as well, just as my grandmother did for me showing me that true artists are creators of new life with everything that they make with their own hands. Right now I'm stuck in an empty town trying to get some exposure and find a way to get my name out there, hoping my art work will soon take me places. I’d like to sell my art work in any way I can and my paintings will go to the highest bidder. If you’re interested in purchasing, have any questions or just want to talk: E-mail me at ~psamantha80 @ yahoo .com~ I check my e-mail more than my Deviant Art page so you’ll hear from me faster. Thank you so much for reading and checking out my art work everyone, I really appreciate it, Good night and may the Great Spirit watch over you with many blessings! :)
