It’s been a long, rather fractured journey…please read on. I had just come out of an orphanage in the early forties and moved into a cinderblock basement with my grandmother and grandfather. There was an old stove, a washtub, a cardtable, an old chair and an incinerator. As my grandmother and grandfather played cards every night after dinner, I would sit in the big chair and draw pictures in my grandmother’s books.
For as long as I can remember I have had a love and passion to draw.
Through the years, due to various things in my life making demands on my time, drawing and art in general, has had different faces and roles in my life.
I had a very bad experience with an art instructor when I was about 13/14 years old.
My name is Tamryn. I have been drawing all my life and love creating with my hands. I couldn’t imagine a life without art.
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.
My name is Angelica and Im from Mexico city. I study music, I want to be a professional violinist.
I am a health care professional in NHS and an amateur artist.
Art is not mere a leisure activity for me but helps me to de stress myself, in other words art is healing for me in my daily struggle.
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 am 82 years old retired university professor. About 3 years ago I started painting, with no previous experience. I am still straggling.
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 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.
