Hello,
I was born and raised in Philippines, now living and working in Canada.
As an emerging fine artist, most of my painting so far were based from Greek & Roman mythology to religious & Bible stories. I also paint portraiture & genre painting…
As a busy mom and wife, I took up art about 5 years back as an escape from the household responsibilities. Soon, under the apt guidance of my art teacher, it became my passion. He has always pushed me to take every art piece to the next level of skill and refinement without expecting perfection but embracing the learning that comes in the process. He constantly motivates me to approach each piece as an observing student and an insightful artist …
I always thought I am a good artist, but when I found this Academy, I felt I don’t know anything about arts. Today I got the true meaning of fine arts. I like to thank you so much. I need to win this competition so I could improve my drawing skills and prove myself as an artist.
I’m a student at faculty of pharmacy. I like drawing so much and hope to become a master artist because I wan to be able to express my feelings in drawing

My name is Bronwen and I am a mother, teacher, artist and dreamer. Though I’m originally from South Africa I moved to Japan in 2005 with my husband following a year later. I work here are an assistant English teacher in elementary schools and have two beautiful children of my own.
I’ve been drawing since I was young, but always struggled with it. I didn’t realize it at the time but I have some very strong leanings towards neo-classical and realist styles so I would get very frustrated with myself when I couldn’t reproduce what I saw. In high school I took art as one of my classes but my teacher and I got on very badly. She was very much an abstract art person while I would stare at a Jackson Pollock painting thinking, “I don’t get it.” Impressionism and Expressionism always felt unfinished to me, like someone had forgotten to go in and add all the details. At the time the teacher told me that an artist was not a camera so trying to faithfully re-create what we saw was futile and worthless. Somewhat dejected with this whole outlook and thinking that this was what ‘modern art’ was all about, I went to university to major in classical studies and drama instead of going to art school…
