Artist Spotlight

Q: What’s your name? 
A: My name is Suhasini! 
 
Q: What grade are you in? 
A: I am in 11th grade. 

Q:What is your favorite art medium? 
A: My favorite art medium is definitely nail art. I love that it’s both a piece of art as well as something that you actually get to wear. I really love when I see people wearing my designs when I’m walking through the halls or anything like that! 
 
 
Q:What motivates you to keep creating and practicing nail art? 
A: I love doing nails for my friends! It motivates me when people get excited about a design I’ve done. It makes me want to keep improving and try new things. I also like to think that since I enjoyed doing my nails so much when I was younger, it makes me happy to do my nails now at such an improved scale.  

Q: Can you share your favorite set you’ve ever done and why it’s special to you? 

A: My favorite set ever would have to be a set I did on one of my friends that looked like a fawn pattern. That was the first more complicated set I had tried, and it gave me confidence to keep going! I loved how unique it looked and how much detail went into it. 
 
 
 
Q: How do you come up with new ideas for nail art? 
A: I like to get inspo from Pinterest and online, and a lot of times I’ll ask other people what they have saved so I can see a wide range of styles. It helps me find new ideas I might not have thought of on my own, and I can mix different things together to make something really cute and unique.
