Hi there! My name is Ajeenah Sommerville and this is my late artner, coco! I am the owner of A Art Studio!

I’ve had a love for Art my entire life! Its a trait that has been passed down through from pencil to canvas! But, I wasn’t always this free in my life. I went through a very dark time for a long time. I began to steer away from art because the things I would draw were very dark and negative. I couldn’t deal with seeing my hurt on paper. Now, that I look back, it was a cry for help and no one noticed. People noticed my talent but everyone from teachers to friends did not recognize the pain I was illustrating. However, through this journey, I always noticed that I would draw random hearts or random things but I kept telling myself art just isn’t for me. Especially when everyone else would say “ you can’t make money as an artist.” “How will you survive?” “Most people don’t become famous artist until they die.”

Fast forward to now, I started running a skin care business and I noticed my passion for creating. I started noticing that I literally created every design from scratch. From the logo down to the labels and packaging. I said to myself “ I think I love the freedom of creating things and expressing my ideas and feelings in visual form. I said “What if this is it? What if this is my message from the universe? What if this has been my calling all along?” I started working with resin and I failed the first few times. But, I never gave up though. Which was how I immediately knew. I started trying new ideas and pushing myself. I became addicted to resin and acrylic pouring, it was like my hands would lead my body. Almost like my hands were the brain, instead of my actual brain. It made me so happy and I couldn’t stop watching my ideas transform into art. Today, I am such a happy and positive person. I have my days or even weeks like any ther person but I refuse to allow negative talk about my passion steer me right in the ground. We all have trials and tribulations but that’s what makes us who we are. I choose to be happy and follow my paint brush! I am stronger and I always make it a point to show that in my art. I want everyone to see struggles that lead to strength and self love in my art. It is important to me to help you all navigate through this thing called life! If I can change one life then it’s a job well done! 

Remember choose happiness! You come first! ♥️
