I knew I wanted to feature an independent artist using a similar creative process who deserves&nbsp;more recognition. Enter Hayley Dixon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Written by Tori Smith, Public Relations and Social Media Intern<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hayley Dixon spends her free time stroking her paintbrushes on paint-by-number pieces, although they aren\u2019t the ones you would normally find in a store.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dixon studied mathematics in her first year at the University of Oregon, but decided it wasn\u2019t suited for her after her freshman year was complete. She started taking more theater and design classes, and that ended up being her niche during her collegiate career. She was a theater major with a focus in set design and set painting.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, Dixon has her own art shop, called Upcycled Thrifter. Dixon finds paintings at thrift stores and upcycles them to include eccentric updates or additions related to pop culture.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dixon enjoys adding to thrift-store paintings rather than starting from a blank canvas, she said. She is basically creating a painting by numbers and trying to \u201cmath it up\u201d utilizing her mathematics knowledge to strategically place her own characters or nuances into the pre-existing painting.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She uses techniques that she learned in the theater department at the University of Oregon.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dixon also uses those skills in her full-time job as a high school special education teacher. She teaches math to students, but still takes a creative approach to the mathematical process, like having the students create a board game for their budget.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dixon has an Etsy shop that has reached over 2,400 sales. Dixon also uses events to find the people who might be interested in her work. She recently set up shop at the Portland Gaming Expo.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She started her artistic career as a natural crafter, dabbling in crocheting, knitting, and cross-stitching. She stumbled upon upcycled thrift pieces with a friend.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI saw stuff online of people modifying thrift art,\u201d she said. \u201cMy friend suggested we go get some Goodwill stuff and mess it up.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That started a six-year journey of modifying thrift store art. Dixon hasn\u2019t added to a piece with a fandom that she doesn\u2019t resonate with. The shortest piece took her 2 hours, while the longest took her 12.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m usually looking for something that\u2019s well-taken care of,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t want something that\u2019s too crowded. It\u2019s harder to deal with photographs because it\u2019s so difficult to get detailed.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dixon\u2019s motivation comes from the excitement of other people. She loves attending events where she can connect with the people interested in her art.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dixon has also dabbled in mural-making. Because she\u2019s a high school teacher, she can only focus herself on large-scale pieces in the summer. Murals usually take at a minimum of three weeks, but the longest took about nine months.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI just don\u2019t connect with regular art,\u201d she said. \u201cI like what I do. I like that it\u2019s funny and the people who enjoy it are like me.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bsu.edu\/doma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/03\/Napoleonbest810-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/03\/23135431\/Napoleonbest810-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/03\/23135431\/Napoleonbest810-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/03\/23135431\/Napoleonbest810-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/03\/23135431\/Napoleonbest810-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/03\/23135431\/Napoleonbest810-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/03\/23135431\/Napoleonbest810-720x900.jpg 720w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/03\/23135431\/Napoleonbest810-320x400.jpg 320w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/03\/23135431\/Napoleonbest810-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Hayley Dixon is a painter.
