Autumn Bannon
Age: 16 - 18
Autumn Bannon is a 17-year old New York City based artist. She attends Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in the Upper West Side in Manhattan, New York City. Autumn makes art to express all her emotions and opinions that she feels unable to accurately voice. Art helps her connect her thoughts and feelings to visuals and allows others to understand her interpretations of the world. Her art strives to focus on telling personal experiences that could only be told through her point of view. Autumn is inspired by thoughts and emotions that she continuously keeps thinking about. She tries to use her art as somewhat of a timeline to pinpoint certain thoughts and memories. She doesn't strive to communicate to the audience what exactly her intent was creating the piece, but rather just expresses a certain mood and energy. She believes this makes art more relatable, as it becomes more personable and interpretable to each individual.
