Adrianna Simeon
b. 1999 ∙ CE artist since 2022
Adrianna Simeon began drawing at the age of 15, using How-To-Draw books and Youtube tutorials to learn her craft. Primarily a self taught artist, Simeon joined the CE studio in 2022. With her distinctive careful linework, Simeon makes stylized mixed media portraits and still lives of an array of flora and fauna–mostly fruit, flowers, and vegetables–in oil pastel, paints, markers, and occasionally in Photoshop.
Simeon says of her work that she likes to draw “anything” (including abstracts) and enjoys using a wide array of colors to enhance her linework. She cites Claude Monet as a favorite artist and an inspiration. Simeon is part of Blackiful, a cohort of Black artists at CE.
