Artwork Description / Inspiration

This piece is #6 in my Female Empowerment Series and the empowerment it depicts is Hope. When you have no hope even the most beautiful things seem dark and have no beauty. But when hope finds you, the darkness melts away. Hope can be found anywhere. It can be given to you, you can give it to others and some times it can find you when you least expect it. 18 x 24 watercolor, acrylic and fabric on paper. (The woman’s red dress is Asian satin that belonged to my great grandmother ❤️) Incorporating very personal things to my work is very important to me!

Artist Profile

Layla

Crehan

My name is Layla and I’m a 20-year-old artist with Autism. I have been creating since I was 5 years old. To me, art is a great way for me to express myself. I love to work with watercolor, acrylic, clay, by beading and wood burning. I am currently working on my Female Empowerment Series and it has been a very emotional process for me. I hope to have at least 10 pieces in the series when I’m done.
