MEET THE ARTIST: HAILEY BONIA

I have been creating incredibly detailed photorealistic drawings for about 8 years. My artistic journey started in childhood, but I decided I would try to pursue art professionally at age 14. I have always been draw to natural and organic subject matter: the human face, flowers, plants, and fruit. It is my goal to portray or evoke emotion and a sense of soul in each of my drawings. It wasn’t until 2015 that I started exploring the realm of psychedelic art. Through self-exploration in this style, I have come to find myself much more relaxed in my creative endeavors. I intend to continue to develop my personal style through a blend of surrealistic and hyperrealism.

All of my works are created using a balance of graphite, charcoal, and pastels.

I am currently working in my studio outside of Boston, Massachusetts.
