"FIVE QUESTIONS FOR THE ARTIST"

1. What is your name?
- Crys Darling

2. Where are you from?
- Columbus(Ohio) is my home

3. What do you do?
- Eco Fashion Designer specializing in custom costumes for clients and runway

4. What inspired you to pursue your creative career?
- Growing up as a kid with modest hand-me-down clothing inspired my Eco fashion line, Label Yourself. I created my line to inspire others to express their own true beauty and style through fashion

5. What is your view on the state of the arts?
- Art classes in school saved my life and made me the artist I am today. It breaks my heart that schools are taking art and music out of schools when children are naturally creative. Art and music allows them to express themselves.
I'm so passionate about it that I created an Eco Fashion Club at Berwick School with junior high students. The kids learn to design their own creative fashion and at the end of the year model during our runway fashion show.
Most importantly we inspire the kids to express their true beauty through design, fashion and art.
