A thriving TikTok account, where she engages with more than 150,000 followers who watch her create her pop-realist paintings, as she shares artistic tips and tricks and encourages them to express their own creativity.

Stanton's videos demystify the art of painting, allowing us to peer into the inner world of artists, bearing witness to the evolution of beauty. There’s @myartshine, whose performative art videos show that all you need is a few pastels, stickers, masking tape and tissues to create a stunning sunset; and Alena Suleimanova, who makes painting a realistic ocean look simple.
