Hi, everyone. My name is Talaya Lightbourne. I’m a 21 year old student pursuing my dream to become an artist. At age 11, I discovered that art was my passion and creative outlet, from middle school to high school I have taken all art classes. However, when I graduated high school due to finances i had to go to a college not of my choosing and the majors were limited, in the end I stuck with a major that didn’t align with my true path in life which is art. Now, I am starting over again to get back into my artistry and to become the artist I was born to be…

I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, although I have never had any formal Fine Art training.

I’m an 18 years old girl which started painting and drawing since I was a little girl. I think I’m blessed that i have such a beautiful talent, because anyone of my family don’t have any talent about art.

I love art history and I have very good knowledge about anatomy of human body…

I love the Drawing Academy course! …

I hadn’t been drawing for years and then when I retired I joined the Senior Center in town. I was lucky to join an art class that had a retired art teacher as the instructor and she was a wonderful inspiration. This pencil sketch is the product of her great instruction and patience. A good teacher is something to be admired…
