Sasha December is an artist based in New York City, moving to Tokyo, Japan. December graduated Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles with a degree in Fine Arts and a focus in Painting. She has established placements in notable private collections, selling her work through word of mouth and social media. December began her exploration of paint with abstractions in the form of portraits which she considered both color studies and manifestations of her psyche. The works were heavily inspired by her relationship with her little sister who is developmentally disabled. Alongside her abstract works, she painted stylized portraits of girls which soon evolved into her current subject. December's paintings explore the societal pressures she grappled with as a young girl, including femininity, popularity, self-fulfillment, and loneliness, all while embodying a sense of ownership over the past and a hopeful outlook towards the future. With settings that callback to her childhood, she brings to life what she wants to see and feel, through places she’s both felt at peace and places she wishes she had when she did not. The merging of December’s two worlds – both imaginative and real – creates an ultimate fantasy that she can use to rewrite her past, present, and future. The work presents a journey of understanding that one’s search for happiness, fulfillment, and perfection, necessitates while writing your own path.
