I'm Tatteina Smikch. I'm 40 years old, and I've been a beach lover all my life. Every summer, I head back to my home town on the coast where I grew up surfing and playing in the waves as a kid. The beach has always brought me peace and happiness, so it's no surprise that I've chosen it as the setting for this latest image of myself.
I've been working as an artist since I graduated from art school many years ago. I specialize in hyper-realistic portraits, which involves painstakingly rendering every detail of a person's features - even down to the tiny hairs on their skin! It can be a time-consuming process, but I find it really rewarding to see the end result.
I'm actually thinking about starting an art blog soon where I can share my work and maybe even offer some tips to aspiring artists out there. Do you have any thoughts on that? Would you like to follow along or contribute your own art?
