Acey Thompson

date:

Wednesday, April 20

medium: watercolor
website: almostphony.wordpress.com
bio:

Acey is an artist in her mid-twenties originally from Pasadena, California. She is currently a Senior at Pacific Northwest College of Art where she is majoring in General Fine Arts. She is particularly drawn to water media - watercolor, gouache, pen & ink - which she believes may be due to her being a Scorpio.
Acey lives in SE Portland with her boyfriend, an oil painter, Marcus Gannuscio (www.reallygoodpaintings.com), and their two rescue dogs: Maggie, an 8-year-old Pit Bull, and Jasper, a 4-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog.
When she isn't making art Acey enjoys napping with the dogs, pontificating about art with Marcus, listening to non-fiction audio-books, watching sitcoms from the '90s, and eating as many kinds of white chocolate she can get her hands on in an attempt to find the tastiest. She collects piggy banks, bottle caps, elephant knick-knacks and low-top Converse.

on the importance of art:

Whether it be drawing, dancing, writing, singing, sculpting, baking or basket-weaving, I feel that art is an important and necessary outlet for those who have that overwhelming urge to create it. I know I'd go mad without it.
