Contemporary American artist Adrienne Stein discovered her love for painting and drawing early in life. This young (b. 1986) Pennsylvania native studied traditional European painting techniques and is inspired to bridge the past with the present by using old techniques with modern subjects. She enjoys painting close friends and family, with whom she shares deep connections, and re-imagining them in lush or magical landscapes. This series of realistic portraits shows her amazing talent with the paintbrush. You can see more of her work on her website or follow her Instagram account. |
