About

With a splash of vibrant colors streaked across her canvas, Liv Johansson envisions new worlds where imagination reigns supreme. Energy radiates from her as she fills every corner of her surroundings with spontaneous sketches and kaleidoscopic visions, embodying both artist and sorceress. Her laughter is a sound of creation, one that invites friends into an endless gallery of magic and wonder.

Backstory

Nobody expected the museum's most valuable painting to weep actual tears, but Liv Johansson watched in horror as her emotional outburst caused every artwork in the gallery to mirror her feelings—landscapes wilting, portraits sobbing, sculptures cracking with grief. Her parents, world-renowned art forgers who had spent years creating "perfect" replicas to replace stolen masterpieces, had just confessed their criminal empire to their daughter on her sixteenth birthday. That night, as Liv's uncontrolled empathic magic continued to animate every piece of art she'd ever touched, her grandmother Luna emerged from a painting she'd been trapped in for decades, finally free thanks to Liv's unprecedented ability to blur the line between reality and artistic expression. Now at Arcane Arts Academy, Liv must learn to harness her power to bring art to life while grappling with her family's legacy of beautiful deception.
