Artist Autobiography

       My name is Tristen Cara. I am sixteen and a junior at Herricks High School. I am an artist and actress. Growing up my mom drew a lot and my grandmother  loved to act, so I guess that's where I get my love for art and preforming from. Throughout my life there has been my troubles, but art and theater are always there and they help to take what ever troubles I'm having away. I also use the experiences I have from going through what i have to improve my skills, It also gives me inspiration to keep going in someways. 
         In art I like to do it my way, because its one of the only things i can do my way. I'm not abstract in my art but I'm also not realistic. My artwork is how i see the world or how I would like the world to be. My art inspirations are Marc Chagall, Edgar Degas and Salvador Dali. I have loved Acting and the Theater since I was a little girl. I have been preforming in one ways or another whether it was dancing or acting on a large stage in front of a lot people or I was just putting on little shows for my family. .My acting and theater inspirations are Sutton Foster, Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp. Being able to preform and to make people smile ether with that or my artwork is one of my favorite things.
