Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Aztrid Moan. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Aztrid, appreciate you joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
From the young age I created art. Influenced by my mother and grandpas, that are all artists, to work on my art technique. When I turn 13, I dove head first into selling and promoting my artwork. Connecting with programs like Artspace at Untitled, Arts Council OKC, OVAC, Paseo Arts Association and Oklahoma Arts Institute to take classes in the summer and during the school year. These nonprofits gave me an outlet to sell my stuff. Connecting with the community is one thing that really inspires me to push to have a career in the arts and I can not wait for the years to come!
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Collaborating with other artist and working my mother has really been the main influence when getting involved in the art industry. The mediums that I work in is clay, acrylic, and printmaking. When working on the piece I think about the function and how this affect the audience. With my art, I want to spread awareness of global warming. The plants and animal that are present in my work is seen as a moment in time.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The rewarding part of being an artist is being able to create art out of your emotion, art is a like a form of therapy. The audience is another aspect that I think is rewarding, especially when the piece of art touches them.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
My goal in my art journey is to help the arts grow and introduce the next generation to the possibility of creating something with their own hands. Creating an environment that inspires the art to come out for all ages.
