My Art, Goals, and Influence

     My name is Cindy Ramirez and I am currently a graphic design student in Cal State Fullerton.  

    As a child, I have always been fascinated by the combination of short stories and illustrations/designs. Throughout high school, I would draw simple illustrations with typography and comics. I plan to pursue a career in the same direction.  My aspirations are designing children’s book, greeting cards, and posters.  In the previous works I’ve done, I have been able to make my six-year-old nephew to smile and laugh. I wish to do the same for a larger audience.

    However, after taking a painting class, I have also developed a passion for traditional art and began practicing more on canvas and leather bags. Many of my artworks consist of altering realism with dream-like characters and fantasies. I combine my subjects with typography as a way to express my emotions and thoughts.

    In 2018, I created an alias for my art under Bitch, I Am Art. The name, Bitch, I Am Art, began as painting that was influenced through low self-esteem and insecurities. I wanted to overcome it and channel my confidence through my art. For the last 2 years, I have had the opportunity to participate in several art shows where I was able to display my art and vend my art merchandise. From Los Angeles to Las Vegas, I am grateful to be part of an artist community and build an online platform for myself.
