Remember this kid?
Bella was one of Princess Awesome’s original models - she was only four years old then, but already one seriously awesome princess.
This month, Bella traveled to the Maryland State Capitol in Annapolis to share her winning poem with First Lady Yumi Hogan at the Student Art Exhibition. We are so proud to reprint it here! Congratulations, Bella!
Creativity is:
When you make something in art
That you created
Art
Imagination
We find it on television
Everywhere
It is to create songs
And dances
Making a home for my cats
It is quiet
Thinking and a blown mind
Concentrating
It is every color
It is everything
You have fun
Creating is amazing

About the Maryland Student Art Exhibition: In Spring and Fall, students from more than 20 Maryland school systems submit artwork as part of the First Lady Yumi Hogan’s Student Art Exhibition, and a winner is chosen at the elementary, middle, and high school levels though a jury process. The First Lady, who is an adjunct professor at Maryland Institute College of Art and herself an accomplished artist, has been an active supporter of the arts community and advocate for arts programs in schools across Maryland. The exhibition is supported by the Maryland State Department of Education’s Fine Arts Office and the Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC).

I’m an illustrator, surface designer and educator based in Atlanta, GA. I live with my boyfriend and our three rescue kitties, who very often make it into my art, especially the two black cats.
I feel very comfortable creating art for kids, because I'm really a kid at heart. I love cute animals and bright colors. I find it particularly satisfying to distill complex concepts into simple shapes that are stylized but easily recognizable.
Sienna Farr was one of Princess Awesome's first models, before our Kickstarter, before we were much more than a dream and a few dresses made of tee shirts and quilting material. She died in a fire that also seriously injured her mother on August 11, 2023, aged 13.
Princess Awesome is so proud to partner with Women in Aviation International to sponsor a design contest during the summer of 2023. We are looking for your awesome ideas for new clothing that features airplanes, helicopters, engineering concepts, schematics - anything that has to do with aviation.
