Miami's emerging Artist, Aileen Fajardo

Craving originality lately? I'd like to introduce you to a Miami native who isn't afraid of color, Aileen Fajardo. Her imaginitive portraits set her apart in the world of art. Each piece definitely sparks some fun into your life and you can't help but admire such talent! Fajardo's passion for art began at a young age when she began painting at home. You'll notice that she usually portrays women and she likes to emphasize their eyes. When asked to describe her style Fajardo stated, "My style is a bit whimsical and somewhat simple." The size of each canvas ranges anywhere between 9x12 to 12x16. If you're interested in receiving more information, please send inquiries to aileen.faj@gmail.com. Fajardo is currently building her collection and plans to showcase her work at a local gallery. Stay tuned!
