My Name Is Hailey Puent...
I am a 19 year old artist, and my goal is to become a full time artist and share my work across the globe. Over the past 5 years I have reached over 5 million views across my art social medias. The endless support has inspired me to start working day and night to be able to start up my art career, and I'm proud to say that I'm getting closer and closer day by day. From many awards, to live wedding painting, to painting at multiple concerts live on stage, and many more accomplishments that were made possible by the love and support of my friends and family, and Jesus himself.
Starting since the day I learned how to hold a pencil, I have been fascinated with anything art related. I started by playing the game most kids in my generation grew up with named "Animal Jam". This game brought me to drawing animals, lots and lots of them. I would sit outside and draw my cats while they went on their own cat-like adventures. I also had the encouragement and help from my grandparents, especially my grandmother. She would come up with all sorts of new projects for us to make. My grandfather, who would spend time creating cartoon farm animals. It especially helped that I lived on a farm at the time.
Starting Business
I started my art business at 14 years old, which was absolutely terrifying for both me and my mom. It was a whole new world to both of us, and was a huge risk with me being so young. However, she helped me through it and helped me get my first commission. I started getting more and more comissions after this, and my business started to take off! I opened up multiple social media platforms, and pushed out what I had to offer. This got me recognized by multiple major art companies, and bigger some bigger names in the art industry. I have made so many connections through starting this business and my dream is to continue to grow it
Demolition Upon Earth
I took 1st place for my district in the 46th Congressional Art Competition 2022, "An Artistic Discovery." My First place piece will hang in the United States Capitol until April 2023. This was such an honor! This was also Congressman Ron Kind's last time being the face of this show, due to his retirement.
Blue And Green Music
Blue And Green is a band arrangement composed by Samuel Hazo. I had the privilege of painting live on stage to this song two times. The first time was with the UWL Symphonic Band, Directed by Ryan Waldhart. The second time will be with the West Salem High School Wind Symphony Band, directed by Dave Kies. This truly is one of my favorite experiences relating to my art. I've always been a band kid, and grew up with many instruments and music. Overall, music has had a huge impact on my life, just like art, so being able to combine these sent chills through my skin. Not only did this leave me happier than ever, but it also brought me into the hobby of painting live and fast.
A Brighter Day
A Brighter Day' was this years title for the WASB Student Art Contest, hosted state wide in Wisconsin. This year I was blessed, and took 1st place in this competition. Through this, my art was featured on the cover of "Art Times" Magazine! I was also awarded a 700 dollar check, and was given my drawing back in the professinal frame job that you see displayed next to me in the photo.
Youth Art Month
YAM (Youth Art Month) is a month full of promoting art throughout the United States within the education system. I was awarded a placement for the west region of Wisconsin with my piece "A Mother's Calling".
2023 Packers Art Competition
Every year the Packers host an art competition, and this year I was blessed with the winning. I created a piece based around "my ideal Packer's game day". With Aaron Jones (#33) walking through the tunnel. and fans yelling over edges, ready to watch their home team take victory. I had the amazing opportunity to be able to visit Green Bay and enjoy the Rams and Packers game with my boyfriend and his dad.
