about your artist

IVY BOYD

I've been an artist my whole life.

As a child, I was constantly drawing, going to art camp, art club, private art lessons. I have a degree in studio art with a graphic design emphasis, but people are my preferred canvas.

From weddings to commercials, presidential candidates to Real Housewives, I've been fortunate to work on thousands of faces in my 12+ years in the beauty industry.

My husband Jake and I have been married 16 years. We live with our 4 cats: Miles, Pixel, Wilbur and Otis.

I still love art. I enjoy drawing, painting, visiting art museums. I also love mid-century furniture, coffee, animals and skincare.
