Using acrylic and spray paint on canvas, Kilmany-Jo Liversage’s beautiful portraits are instantly eye-catching and her urban art form portrays strong elements of classical and street art. For example, the Misako Teah portrait’s use of graffiti makes for a colorful array of tags mixed over consistent patterns that look like leaves. The [paint drip effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip) on the left-upper side of the painting adds wonderful character to the painting’s [street art styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics).
