Missy Payne
Hello my name is Missy Payne. I am currently a high school student and an artist. My entire life I’ve been into art, mostly doing drawings from my imagination. People have always called me a creative yet quiet person, and I was fine with that. I do enjoy being alone because the quietness helps me concentrate. I also learn better when I do hands on activities so art is an excellent way to do multiply hands on activities. Currently I am going through an experience that has changed the way I have thought of art and it is a very difficult process. I am in the IB art program in my school. I started this program last year in my junior year and I am almost finished the program. It is a stressful yet rewarding program. Through this program I learned a lot about different media such as clay, acrylic and oil paint, wax, etc. I also have also learned what my strengths and weaknesses are. I am very good working with acrylic paint yet I have trouble with oil paint. I also have trouble connecting my art to an artist because I have so many original ideas, and it would be hard to connect to an artist or culture. While people say I am a good artist, I still have so much to learn. I love art because since I go to an IB school, it is very stressful and art is my way of releasing all of the stress in my life. I am very proud of all my work and when one looks at my website, you may be able to see the progress I have made throughout the years. I do hope you enjoy my website and all of the pieces of art I have created.
