Dreams worth fighting for

My name is Nicole Elliott. I am age 18 and a recent high school graduate with great aspirations! Since I was VERY little I have been obsessed with art. I got my first full time position illustrating a children’s book two years ago, when I was sixteen, and have since worked and AM working for several clients all over the world. I do not say this to boast or because I think I am ‘oh-so-great’! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! These projects have revealed so much that I need to work on and improve. But I have been so fortunate to be a part of each one and I am ALWAYS striving to grow and learn! Perfection is always just out of reach.

Hello, my name is Lika Kaplanishvili and I’m from Georgia.

I have been drawing and painting for 16 years, and in last 2 years art bacame very important to me.

I want to learn the proper art techniques and I need good teachers for that.

For me, it would be very good to win the Drawing Academy course because it offers so much to learn – like classical drawing methods, which I really would like to master.

Soul in art

I’m an engineer and also an artist. I realized that I have drawing skills at the age of 4 with my mother’s support. Although I am an artist, I couldn’t learn from any master.

Art is my ultimate life journey rather focusing onto irregular life style.

In love with Realism

Hello! My name is Adejean, I’m from Niterói, Rio de Janeiro – Brazil. At the moment I’m BS Pharmacy student but always in love with arts (not only drawing and painting, but also music, cinema and theater).

Art is an essential and very special friend in my life. Since I remember I’m very connected with art since childhood, but just now I decided to take it seriously and start to study everything that I could in classical arts. The old masters works are certainly the main inspiration and objective that I have.

Kinetic Drawing

I am Bradley Burgin, and I am 44 just re-starting my artistic side. Years ago, I studied art and began a career in Graphic Design which sidelined much of any art that I loved doing. Art today is appreciated from afar, but I am slowly getting back into a more creative outlook.

The challenges I face are perspective and realism. I create with a kind of energy, almost kinetic. I hope that the Drawing Academy would help me build upon what I know and what I want to know.

I’m a final year Theoretical Physics postgraduate student in France. I was introduced to painting while I was in high school. However I couldn’t continue with it because of increasing pressure in studies. To add to that I was caught with chronic depression and OCD a few years ago. As usual I lost interest in everything and I had to drop a year because I just couldn’t continue with my studies.

My name is Mary Katzanou. I am a professional painter in the field of religious art. I live in Athens, Greece and I am 42 years old.

I put my soul and heart into art, as it is an integral part of my every day life. I cannot imagine myself not painting or not learning more and more about art.

My mother, the first face a I saw

My name is Belizeur(Beli), I am a Haitian who immigrated to Dominican republic (my parents did, I had to come with them). I live in Dominican republic since I was 8.

I always wanted to draw but never had time or my parents and other people would always say: “You can’t eat with art!” That was really choking for me.

Everything started when I was 23; I started working in a school while I was in a college and then I had to draw some posters (which was really good) and got in love with it, while I was working and studying, I tried to make time to practice everything I can, mostly portraits. Drawing make me happy even with all the things I have to do…
