Hobin is a 17-year-old attending Oregon Char- ter Academy. Her art style is usually cartoon charac- ters, but with paintings she leans more towards realistic scenes. “My art medium is usu- ally pencils, paper and my phone,” she said. “I also use paints, canvases, paint- brushes, and sometimes glitter for my paintings.” Hobin describes her hobbies as “drawing, paint- ing, crafting, cosplaying and hanging out with my friends.” She has participated in one previous art event titled “Let’s Rock!!”, a Community Challenge Show at Back- street Gallery. FRAA encourages the public to come and view this creative artist’s work dis- played on the Youth Wall of FRAA’s Art Center and Gal- lery, 120 Maple St. in Histor- ic Old Town Florence. Kya Hobin is showing her work at Florence Regional Arts Alliance through November.
