Hi! My name is Ivy Marie. I am a high schooler from Massachusetts who has a huge passion for art and is taking her first steps toward pursuing a career in art.
In a world being taken over by generative AI "artists", I believe it is more important now than ever to support human artists and truly appreciate artists' creative capabilities. Art, by definition, is a form of expression. Art has the power to create connection both between people and also between the artist themselves and their work. Art can create understanding, provoke questions, and evoke emotion. In my opinion, this connection at its truest form can only come from work made by human hands. Through Art Ivy Marie, I hope that you will treat me as your A(rt)I(vy Marie). You can either get your art from sending prompts to AI, filling the pockets of billionaires and wasting our natural resources, or you can send your prompts to a student with a passion for creating art that will truly mean something to you.
