My name is Elizabeth (Leeza) Pnev. I have been painting since middle school, but have made most of my progress in the past few years since I went to college at Pace University in Manhattan. I am 20 years old.
My art focuses mostly on realism and still life. I delve into the contents of my dreams and also topics of mental health awareness. I also have an appreciation for anime-style art. My commissions have focused on all of these.
I am a Chemistry major and have an Art minor. I suggest that anyone chases their dreams despite any challenges that cross their path in life.
This piece is my first acrylic self portrait. It was a piece I made in release of my energy at the time. More than other paintings, this piece has layers and issues beneath it. It is how I truly see myself and my struggles.
