Story by Elizabeth
To tell you about myself, and my love of art, would take a lifetime. However, I shall try and give you a brief synopsis. My love for art started very young. Even at a young age, I wanted to learn how to draw and paint, just like the old masters. I would try to learn all I could about the old masters, not only their life but how they painted and why. I would spent hours trying to find out anything that I could, to help me learn. But, my yearning was never to be fulfilled. For the family I was born into, wasn’t a happy one. On the outside, people assumed we were happy and had a loving, caring family. But behind closed doors it was quite the opposite. I tell you this, not for pity, but to help you understand just where art takes place in my life…

From coldest place to warmest hearts!
I am 53 year old asian woman from russian Siberia who lives in Thailand. My birthplace is very, VERY cold! It is coldest place on the whole world. That is why I have decided to move in Chiang Mai when I retired. Chiang Mai is best place for artists and creative people. Lovely nature, lovely people. So many warm hearts around me! 2 years ago I recalled my children’s dream to become an artist and tried to draw. Now I have enough time to do what I really want. My favorite materials are charcoal and pencil, but last month I became to painting by oil colors and it is wonderful! …

Feedback from James Eugene Amidon
I was born in Downey, Calif. May 20, 1955 (today’s date).
As early as I could remember, I had the passion and desire to becoming an artist, and told my mother so when I was only 5 years old. I soon saw that my drawing skills were different than my classmates as far as detail and accuracy, and continued to draw as much as I could.
In High School, being from a low income and rural area, there was no art instruction to gain any other knowledge from, so I continued to spend hours on my own after school drawing everything from National Geographic and other magazines I found interesting. …

My story is one of being inspired by my mother who painted landscapes in the home until she suffered from Alzheimer, which ended her journey but started mine.
Though I have been to an art school decades ago an was given a one man exhibition – it was disappointing as the training only resulted in modern low grade work. …

Feedback from Wayne Alllen
I am 66 and have returned to a passion I have had since I was in grade school – art.
My perfect day is browsing an art museum, especially the art in the 1500-1600 time frame. If those masters only had the quality materials and tools we have now – what great things they could accomplish.
My ultimate goal would be to attend an art school in Europe but time is running out. …

Feedback from Marta Lopez-Bravo Bascan
When I was small I won a drawing prize from the UNESCO at school but nobody told me that it was a skill I could develop. So I have never went to any art academy.
Now I am taking care of my old mother, 87, who is in a wheelchair and I spend the hours drawing by her side. In this situation you have two options, to get depressed or to try to do something useful, challenging that makes easier for you to deal with the sad situation.
Then I remembered that when I was an introvert child while drawing I used to forget about time, I disconnected from what worried me at that time and what I remembered best it was how good I use to feel. …

Hello I’m Aalaa Aladdin, I am 23 years old, I was born to be an artist no matter how I tried to change it I used to draw and sing since I was a little kid.
Art is my way to express myself. I’m not a great artist, but I believe that I’m a special one that’s why I need to learn more about art from a place which know what does real art mean.
