Autumn de Forest is a painter who has met with the Pope, starred in a campaign with Ellen Degeneres and partnered with Nordstrom to launch her shoe line, a collaboration with Converse.
Autumn de Forest is only 15 but already has a professional resume that artists triple her age could only dream of.
Autumn de Forest appears on NPR’s “State of Nevada” discussing her upcoming Las Vegas Exhibition this weekend at The Gallery of Music & Art in Las Vegas: A Preview to her Collection which will premiere at Art Miami 2016.
Autumn’s the youngest member of the Presidents’ Committee on the Arts & Humanities, and the bubbly artist designed a fun way to help underprivileged students and under-resourced schools across the country by teaching painting classes.
For most kids, 14 is an age of “becoming.” With those awkward tween years just behind, and those even more awkward teenage years still ahead, it’s a time when most kids are still getting to know themselves, and finding out what their gifts and callings might be.
