I am a easy going, organized and like helping other. I come form London and as worked as a carer for number of years. As A child I grew up on my own no sisters or brother. Art was something that came into my life very early on. I liked watching Disney cartoons so I would copy the drawings and that where my love grew and I taught my self to draw.
Art is very important in my life, it a place I can go to be with me. It gives me so much understanding of the world around me. A way to communicate using colour and form .
The challenges I have with creating paintings is to produce something from my imagination or to understand composition to create a very interesting piece using the word or feeling from my mind. …

Feedback from Sebastine Kalarikkel
I am from Kerala, widely known as ‘God’s own country’, a small state in India the land of diversity. Currently I work in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
I am much fond of doing portraits in Oil Painting. I have never been trained under a teacher. I used to draw and paint (water color) from my childhood on wards but never got a chance to join an Art School. Later when I was able to pay myself, I tried to join a teacher to train me the technical parts of Art but he asked me to see some of my paintings and when he saw those he refused to join me there saying there is nothing he need to teach me more instead to go on practice and I can achieve more success. …

Feedback from John Gallivan
There was only ever one thing I was good at school at. Yes, you guessed it, art. I had an eye for it and enjoyed it and felt pride in it when nothing else offered me pride. However my family, my father in particular, who was also a great natural drawer wouldn’t let me take the option at school when that time came around, claiming there were no jobs in it somewhat bitterly.
The middle of my life has been a selection of half hearted jobs, that haven’t even been that good at paying the bills, hey but at least I had a job right …

Feedback from IRINA ERTAHANOVA
My name is Irina. I am studying at Arts University Bournemouth, but I graduated from the technological university in a small Siberian town, in Russia.
I also have Asian roots, because my homeland, Buryatia republic has own traditions similar to Mongolian culture…
I always wanted to be an artist and spent many days in the local library reading books about Van Goth, Rembrandt and da Vinci. Fortunately I found the opportunity to work at one fine art gallery in Moscow and worked with oil, acrylic and digital painting, so, it increased my interest to art and gave the opportunity to exhibit some of my works in Moscow and Taiwan.
Now I am using mostly digital painting during my studies, but I want to return to oil a…

Feedback from Lis Angel
I have always been very interested in drawing and painting and at 12 years of age an art dealer showed me the basics of oil painting. I just loved it and I painted my first landscape in oil.
My parents supported my interest and I got artist oil colors as Christmas and birthday gift – and I was totally lost in the joy of color – since then I never stopped painting. I was first inspired by the Danish painter Oluf Høst and later I was influenced by abstract art. At the same time I was attracted to poetic and Cosmic art, as the Spanish artist Miro and Russian artist Mark Chagall. …

Ready to Pursue my Dream
Ever since I was very young I had always shown a natural tendency towards things related to art. Because of this, I became a ballet dancer when I was still a teenager. Moviments have always fascinated me and helped me to understand my life and also how human body works, so I do not regret all those years of hard work I had spent to be able to achieve ballet difficult technique even though currently I am not dancing anymore; my background is in classical ballet…
