Mya Bessette - Optimistic Fine Art
Contemporary acrylic and mixed media paintings with vibrant color and uplifting composition.
I’ll admit, when I first started using gold leaf in my art 10 years ago, I was intimidated. It’s so delicate and requires a steady hand and what if I messed up a painting that I loved in the process? The good news is that once you play with this medium a bit, and learn to work with its fragility, it’s actually quite a fun and forgiving material to add to your work.

Before I began painting full time, the prospect of walking into an art store completely overwhelmed me and if I had known how simple my beginner toolbox could have been, I would have jumped into painting far earlier.
I’ll expand more on my love for acrylics in a future post. For NOW, I want to get you excited about the prospect of creating your own unique art!

It never ends well.
