Creativity is my passion
Drawing and story by Kat
Hello,
When I finished high school, I asked my parents if I could go to Art university. Long story short, they were of the opinion that it will not put bread on my table and that art school was only attended by druggies. My art teacher at high school tried to convince my parents that I was talented and to please let me go to the art university in the town where I lived. I was actually forbidden to go. I became an office manager, but art and creativity has always been a part of my life.

I need this course and your expertise
9 years ago I graduated from an art college. I was extremely excited and was looking to accomplish my dream of becoming a professional artist.
Today I am a full time artist with a successful art studio. I also teach private lessons to selected clients on one-on-one basis. Through the years I have motivated young artist to never stop studying art. We can never say we know it all. It also so happens that lots of my students enrolled at universities and competed their master degrees in art. I am still their own private tutor that will always play a role in their lives.

I discovered my love for art at a very young age and has been drawing and sketching regularly since then. It has helped me to be more conscious and understanding of my surroundings.
I like to do pretty things!
Artwork by Edgard Nogueira
I am a humble artist from Brazil, I like to draw comics, cartoons, happy and colorful stuff, and I love oil painting! I just like to make the world a beautiful place, one painting at a time. Art is a way to tell something to the world through my eyes, a way to say “Hey, this is how I this thing would look if it had more colors!”. I just love art, man.

The Art Dream

My name is Christopher Pam I am from Nigeria. Ever since I was six I began to pick up my pencil to draw. That was when art first called me. Art is my life it’s everything to me and I want to be great at it.
