My name is Mercades McGehee and I am an 18 year old artist living in Austin Texas. I have had an interest in art my whole life. I love creating, imagining, and sharing my heart through my work. I paint because I can’t imagine a better way to do that. My subjects are mostly women; the epitome of beauty, which is my inspiration. I express it through pale, flowing watercolor. I am also very passionate about animals, and half of my funds from each painting are donated to my Austin ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
