Painted Lady Butterfly Lady Painting

I have always wanted to do my own thing where art was concerned. Even when I was a toddler at parents and toddlers group when adults or my parents tried to help me do something artistic I would get upset and not allow them to help and even though all the other toddlers produced better work, as adults had helped them, I didn't mind because mine was done by just me. As I progressed through school life, teachers would recognise my love and natural flair for art. As a result I decided to study Art and Design at college where I quite quickly gained the confidence to use paint and grew in my techniques. Using my love of nature and artists I studied such as Salvador Dali and Vladimir Kush as inspiration, I began to develop my own style and produced work that reflected my life's limitations and my life goals. Wanting to be free and not be limited by the area in which I lived and have the confidence to break free and escape that environment.
