About CM
|
Hello and welcome to my part of the dark forest!
The name is CM Addams. I am a self-employed freelance artist. It is my full time job and I've been doing it for as long as I can remember. I started doing it professionally around 2017 during my time in college. I am from Montgomery, AL, but currently reside in Los Angeles, CA with my significant other. Whenever I am not painting or drawing, I am attending various conventions, festivals, and art markets across the United States where I sell a variety of my work, meet new people and sometimes even paint live. Occassionally if my art lets me, I indulge myself into various hobbies such as witchcraft and occultism, reading, writing, Netflix marathons, listening to Podcasts, video games, and movies. I have a lovely rabbit named Lily, I am a proud Pagan, and adore traveling to different places around the world. |

About Her Art
Since I was a youngling, I've been very inspired and admire a variety of different artists and styles in my life. I grew up obsessively collecting anything Lisa Frank and Amy Brown. I would draw fairies, mermaids, and cool chicks of all sorts, hoping to one day be like my idols. As I became a teen, I began lurking around the internet and discovered more artists I admire and have inspired me such as Jasmine Beckett-Griffith, Delphine Lévesque Demers, KrisGoat, Saccstry, Drawkill, and many others.
These artists truly aspired me to my calling of becoming a professional artist.

I attended and graduated from Auburn University of Montgomery with a BFA in Visual Arts with a minor in Graphic Design in 2019. Here I met many amazing people and discovered more artists that I enjoyed from many periods such as Salvador Dali, Odilon Redon, Aubrey Vincent Beardsley, and many others.
