What is your background and how did you start your journey in the art world?
“I was born and raised in New Jersey. When I was younger, I remember always feeling so much excitement in art class. I looked forward to learning new skills and creating fun projects. Throughout the years, I joined many art classes and clubs including but not limited to Studio Art, Graphic Design, Fine Art, Ceramics, Photography Club and more. I love creating pieces that are one of a kind and unique. I had my paintings in art shows and newspapers by the time I was 12. I also participated in creative art contests growing up. Within the past couple of years, I’ve had the opportunity to travel and attend different events and music festivals displaying my art in front of crowds. In 2023, I published my first coloring book titled, ‘KENDRAHEARTSART Coloring Book: Volume 1’ - which can be found at Barnes and Nobles and on Amazon. This year, I also created my business, ‘Blessed and Chosen Co.’ - where I sell clothing, merch, and much more!”
What inspires you?
“When I need some inspiration, I like to go outdoors in nature and just brain dump some ideas onto paper. Listening to upbeat music while painting is the best combo. I love adding psychedelic patterns and creative concepts into my work.”
What themes do you pursue? Is there an underlying message in your work?
“I create various types of art and they’re all different from one another. My art ranges from spiritual with deep meaning to something trendy with modern patterns. I usually don’t like using basic boring colors. I create random designs and mess around with it. I want my work to stand out. The underlying message is to just be yourself. Have your own style and your own unique personality. Be different.”

How would you describe your work?
“I’d like to describe my work as abstract. I love weird shapes and neon colors. Why create a regular red rose when you can create an iridescent flower with rainbow glittery petals and polka-dot eyeballs? I also find that my art comes out differently depending on what kind of mood I’m in. Art is cool because there aren’t any rules and you don’t have to stick to one type of style. Abstract art is my go to style.”
Which artists influence you most?
“There are so many talented artists that I look up to. Some artists that influence me most are Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky, Kerby Rosanes and Ellie Paisley.”
What is your creative process like?
“I like looking up drawing prompts and art challenges to help me get into a creative mood. I’m very busy but I always find time to create. I usually just jump right into it and see what I can come up with. Big projects may require more time and effort but there’s nothing that I can’t do.”
What is an artist’s role in society and how do you see that evolving?
“An artist’s role is to not only express themselves, but to be someone people can look up to in society. I want to inspire and uplift everyone. I enjoy helping others just as much as I do creating art. Art brings people together. Artists touch souls in a unique way and view life from a different perspective. Over time history will continue to change. Art styles evolve and people evolve as well.”
Have you had any noteworthy exhibitions you'd like to share?
“My most recent accomplishment has been painting at Evolutions Music Festival in October 2023. I was able to paint outdoors on beautiful land sacred to the Native Americans. I felt so happy and free. My goal is to travel across the world. My dream is to paint at more art events and festivals in the future.”
