Book covers, murals and coffee cups: artist Myriam Van Neste loves to spray her art on everything! And we’re proud to announce that Myriam added a Face This T-shirt, tote and sweater to this list. The Canadian artist, who is based in Austria, loves to do everything by hand, so all her projects start with scissors, colorful paper and a playful collage session!
We spoke with Myriam Van Neste to discuss her art, her life as an artist and of course about her collaboration with us.
Face This: Can you tell us something about your cultural background? Where did you grow up? Did you always like to draw?
Myriam Van Neste: I am from Quebec, Canada, and my first language is French. I have been drawing since I have been able to hold a pen! I was a creative kid who was super into sculpture and drawing. Same as today!
Face This: Are there specific moments in your life that made you decide to become an artist?
Myriam Van Neste: There is no specific moment, no. I have always been making and creating and there was never really any doubt that I would do anything else in life.
Face This: What is the biggest challenge for you, being an artist?
Myriam Van Neste: That my livelihood is tied to my artistic practice.
