I am a 67-year-old artist that is self-taught. I began my love of art as a very young child and presented anyone and everyone a piece (or more) of art regardless if they wanted it or not. Seriously, I began my art career when I was 15. I began with portraits made from the wallet sized senior pictures of my friends and family.
My name is Mary O’Donnell and I am a special education English teacher. Two years ago, I lost my beloved aunt that was like a mother to me, then I lost vision in my left eye. I was at a loss for what to do in order to move past the hardest time of my life. I thought about my aunt who loved to paint, and in her memory, I began to paint and draw in order to strengthen my remaining eye. I fell in love with art, and have been teaching myself how to draw and paint ever since. It has been such a fun journey, but there are challenges when trying to teach myself drawing.
My name is Charles “Chuck” Gilliam. I was born into a military family which offered me an opportunity to travel and see much of this country. These travels afforded me a great source of materials on which I have based my illustrative works. After many years of working as a professional illustrator and graphic designer, I have found himself in a position of determining images to tell a story.
Hello, my name is Vic Nelson ,I am self taught artist trying to specialize in sequential art.
I am an Art student, aged 18 and I was passionate about art since I can remember. My interest for it was growing constantly over the years and brought me to the point where I can tell that I became a more mature artist, I am also able to see the progress I am making.
At 55 I am rediscovering my direction, as my children become adults.
I’m an pretty mature 61 years old aeronautical engineer and bizdev manager.

My name is Péter Somlyai
I learned the profession of a carpenter, meanwhile in the Fine Arts Circle led by the painter József Rácz 6 b. with pencil I developed my drawing skills with charcoal in watercolor and painted with pastel chalk. I worked as a decorator in the canning factory in Nagykőrös.
I finished my N6 in Graphics Design and Photography at Cape College. I gave my CV out everywhere, but no one was hiring. Luckily a friend of mine said her son was opening a game reserve and he had a job for me. That was 17yrs ago and I have been in travel ever since also offering my help in non-profit organizations. I hardly had time to draw or paint but knew it was always my passion. Only recently have I gotten back to drawing and doing what I love, painted my first oil painting of an eagle’s head in 2014.
