Featured Artist: SumireStore

The DBH artist SumireStore jokes that her artwork is like “neon pink pudding that glows in the dark.” Her astrological designs – with their unexpected pop of pink color – are striking portraits of each horoscope that also reveal distinctive elements of the zodiac signs.

SumireStore is from Tbilisi, Georgia and admits, “I want to stay in my country forever.” However, she also loves traveling and dreams of someday visiting Japan and South Korea as well. In fact, her interest in countries like Japan and South Korea inspires her artistic vision; she pays tribute to the cultures in many of her designs.

She confesses that one of her greatest struggles is “underestimating my own faculties.” Nevertheless, she continues to challenge herself and she strives to feel confident and proud of her work. After graduating from the art academy at the top of her class, she now recognizes that she can succeed in anything that she puts her mind to.

SumireStore believes that a true visionary can “change this world” by making dreams and imagination into a reality for others. As an introvert, she uses her art to express her innermost thoughts and desires; she hopes to make a difference in the world around her. She shares, “art is not related to age. It doesn't matter how old I am” because she will never stop pursuing art. She boasts, “I'm going for it now and I'm going for it in the future” and she cannot wait to see where she lands.
