阿沙昂·赫尔姆斯泰特

AshaAung Helmstetter

阿沙昂·赫尔姆斯泰特是一位油画和混合媒体画家，出生和成长于西雅图的中心区，至今仍在那里工作。17岁时，阿沙昂意识到自己将把一生中的大部分时间奉献给艺术，并花了多年时间为自己实现这一理想。阿沙昂早早离开学校，一边处理慢性健康问题，一边专注于个人和艺术发展，她几乎没有接受过正式培训。2021，她获得了SOIL画廊的青年艺术家居住权，目前是Wa Na Wari 2021-2022艺术家居住周的一部分。阿沙昂还登上了《真实变化新闻》的封面，并获得了2021 Foundry10青年艺术家奖。

AshaAung Helmstetter is an oil and mixed media painter who was born and brought up in Seattle’s Central District, where she is still based today. At seventeen years old, Asha realized that she would dedicate very much of her life to art, and has spent the years since actualizing that reality for herself. Having left school early to manage chronic health issues while focusing on her personal and artistic development, Asha has very little formal training. In 2021, she received SOIL Gallery’s Young Artist Residency, and she is currently part of Wa Na Wari’s 2021-2022 Artist in Residence cycle. Asha has also been featured on the cover of Real Change News and was recipient of the 2021 Foundry10 Young Artist Grant.

虽然她有很多导师，并从随处可见的艺术中获得灵感，但她的风格显示出其独立的探索，这种探索伴随着某种孤立的学习。她的画作反映了她的想象力和毅力：当遇到她或她的任何创作时，这都是不可错过的机会。

While she has many mentors, and takes inspiration from art that exists everywhere, her style shows the independent exploration that comes with somewhat isolated learning. Her paintings reflect her imagination, and perseverance: two things that are difficult to miss when encountering her person, or any of her creations.
