I'm really excited to to be bringing my art to you on my own platform; to have the opportunity to share my work and how I arrive at my final pieces. Whether that be my thought process or technique.
Before all of that let me introduce myself.
My name is Sovina Vernon-White, hence the title of this space being SVW_ART. My passion for art began from a very early age, however I was told in no uncertain terms that I must pursue a 'proper job'. So of course I became a Chartered Surveyor instead. Along with painting on weekends and the odd evenings, I would on occasion share my refrained creativity through my role as a surveyor whenever the opportunity presented itself. This could be contributing to the interior design of a West End office space to creating new processes.
Despite taking the so-called 'proper' route, I always felt in my heart that I hadn't pursued the proper job. I'm still a surveyor but I can't shake being the artist.
I can see now that it is my early beginnings that have influenced my art today. I was raised in a small village in the midlands where I experienced immeasurable isolation, and an unbridled desire to be like everyone else in almost all the spaces I occupied. It wouldn't be for another two decades or so, after I left school, that I realised it was actually fine to be me. Even after that realisation, it still took some practising.
Well this journey of self discovery bought me to so many places and I learned to give this experience language through my art.
It is these experiences that I hope to share with you 'From the Art'.
