Giusiana is a Seattle based multi-media artist whose work is largely inspired by her experiences living life with an incurable illness. A lot of her work is dark and moody, but she also enjoy working in lighter themes as it shows beauty in the darkness. Giusiana works mainly in acrylic, but enjoys using watercolor and ink as well./sf

Growing up I didn't even have money for art supplies and now I can't believe that I am getting to participate in a art challenge. Anything is possible! Art is now become a way of life for me and a beautiful outlet.
