This week, our spotlight turn to illuminate that artist of the playfully whimsical and magically detailed, Apis Teicher<\/strong>! Apis joins us from BC, Canada, was born in Colombia and has lived in several other countries including the United States and Japan. She started drawing when she was just 4-years-old! \u201cI drew a Martian invasion of Earth on three of the walls of my room,\u201d Apis confessed. \u201cWhen my grandma caught me she didn’t get mad, but instead gave me a stack of papers and asked me to use that instead.\u201d While she\u2019s mostly self-<\/span>taught, she\u2019s taken some art classes at the University of Los Andes and completed a degree in 3D Animation from the Vancouver Film School. She experiments plenty on her own as well, and taken courses and workshops over the years. Her primary inspiration flows from her interested in mythology and nature, particularly marine subjects, microscopic creatures, and plants. She loves working with markers and coloring digitally. \u201cThere is a certain fluidity to markers that I enjoy, but I love being able to easily correct mistakes and backtrack a few steps when working digitally,\u201d she said. When she\u2019s not creating heart, she enjoys reading, making films with her actor son, and learning crochet. You can discover more about Apis and her art at her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
