Maeve Asano
Artist Statement
I am a figurative artist, commissioned portrait artist, and commissioned doll faceup artist based in Fort Wayne, IN.
Many of my works are figurative, still-life, imaginative and realism all in one piece. When I say “figure", most people get an instant impression for "human figure”. However my objects are human, animals, my dolls, and anything that imitates living creature. I mainly work with oil and charcoal to paint or draw the subject mixed with nature and my imagination to create thought provoking scene.
I want my art to be easy to understand and make people think about stories. While some think realism is boring or out of date, I will continue to challenge that perspective with my curious and whimsical creations.
