About Me
Priscila Soares
For the longest time, I felt lonely in my own struggles. I had to loose myself completely in order to find my true self again. I reconnected with my inner child after many years of pretending she wasn't quite there.
As a mother of 2 sons, and as a person with a severe hearing difference on a spiritual path of inner exploration, I became passionate about sharing my personal journey and message through my art.
I wish to inspire you to look into your own limiting beliefs about who you truly are and to feel encouraged and supported to break through them.
We are all unique and our stories matter, regardless of what type of past experiences we are still attached to.

Mission statement
How living in the world of hearing loss and embracing who I really am inspired me to bring our powerful stories into the art that I create today.
I Feel Lucky - the inspiration behind adding wings to the ears
"This is a part of who I am but I'm not defined by it."
My hearing difference doesn’t define me, but it is a part of me; even more so, it empowers me. The path I’ve taken has been nothing short of a novel and I love every year of it, every ear of it. These are MyLuckyEars.

Techniques
My work is connected through its underlying theme, but I freely explore different mediums.
I paint with materials such as acrylics, watercolors, pastels and even digitally. Sometimes, I work with photography and digital manipulation. I sculpt in cold porcelain clay as well as wet clay, paper mache, resin casting, silicone casting and various other mixed media materials. I also create puppets and dolls and stop-motion animation characters. I have even built a wheelchair dinosaur costume for a kid once. See my art collection:
Background
Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, I’m an artist of many mediums. My background in Fine Arts, Graphic Design, Photography and Motion Picture combined with my passion for Graphic Novels and the desire to tell a story, allows me to experiment with different processes and bring it all together into my artwork.
I graduated with an Associates Degree in Art Education from the Faculdade Belas Artes in São Paulo and an Associates Degree in Video Editing Motion Picture from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
Quality
My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
