self trained artist and New Mexico resident whose work has been heavily influenced by DÃ?Æ'Ã,­a de los Muertos and underground and pop art. Having won a coloring contest at the age of 6 her mother instantly recognized her talent and supported her creativity as she grew. In her 7th grade art class, she was told 'nothing came with a fat black outline around it' and now, 15 years later, it is a defining element of her style. She clearly has a fixation on skulls, but her artwork is also known for bringing a bit of lightness, humor and color to darker subjects. Wenchkin creates original, one of a kind acrylic paintings, custom muerto illustration portraits (aka "Bone Buddies") and modifies various toys and objects. She is well known for her "My Little Bonies" skeleton ponies as well as other modified toys. Just under two years ago she quit her "day job" and forced herself to create at least 8 hours a day, as she works toward being a successful working artist. She accepts orders for custom work of almost any kind which you can see for yourself at Wenchcraft - the Art of Wenchkin on facebook.
