| Creative Process and Inspiration |
| Dopilka described her painting environment as “messy, 95% of the time.” With her room being her studio, the artist revealed “I’m not too tidy of a person. So when I’m creating art, I may have left over artworks and art supplies on my desk. I also always have something playing in the background, either music or youtube!” |

| Speaking about how her drawings reflect who she is, Dopilka said “Bats are the focus on my art, most people don't understand them. I guess I could say the same thing about myself, people looking from the outside don't understand what I am about.” |
| Creativity flows effortlessly for Sidney. When asked about her inspiration, she shared, "Rarely do I have a specific story in mind when I create art." |
| Artistic Impact and Future Plans |
| To Dopilka, being able to make people feel something through her artwork when they look at it brings her a sense of achievement. “The biggest compliment I have ever gotten is people saying they want to get my art tattooed on them!” |
