Hello, I am Bianca, and my piece is called Raquelle the raccoon, I always was intrigued by nature and animals, so I was very delighted when the theme was revealed to be nature. This was my first time crafting such a big piece and it was a rewarding experience watching my art come to life every step of the way. Raquelle is a raccoon that loves art and nature. i created her because raccoons usually have a bad reputation and i wanted to Represent a more amiable side of these creatures by creating an artistic raccoon that loves to paint outdoors, enjoying the fresh air and expressing herself with her art. the reason she wears winter clothes is because i wanted to relate to the fact that most people Don't appreciate cold weather, similarly to societies hatred towards racoons. Unlike the general public, raquelle represents an approachable racoon, who loves the fresh winter air!
