"I
have always been most happy when expressing my creative side -
right from a small child i showed a keen interest in all things
artistic and creative. Detailed Pencil work is my forte, but I
enjoy working with & experimenting with all mediums ... I
mostly work with Pencils, Inks, Pastels, Acrylics & Oils.
I also enjoy painting with wax - encaustic style!"
I didn't always believe i would get here.. to this point..
I nearly gave up drawing altogether!,,,
THE STORY!....
When i was 13, i was gratefully loaned a fantasy art book.. It took
my breath away. It gave me so much inspiration.. I had never seen
such absolutely amazing artwork and from that moment.. the artist
'Boris Vallejo' became my idol and spurred me on to practice
my drawings of dragons and the physical form.. I decided after seeing
that book for the first time that if i could become even a tiny
bit as good as Boris, i would be a happy girl!
Throughout high school, art was always my favourite subject and
when it came to final exam time, my art teachers were expecting
A level equivalent results for me (as we were the first year 'guinea
pigs' of the then new GSCE exams). For the final mark up we had
to complete 5 pieces of artwork, I can still remember setting up
my display board in preparation for the eyes of the examiners..
I had linked all of my 5 pieces in a theme thinking this would add
to the overall look of my final 'exhibits' (I was so proud!)...
After receiving my 'A' i planned to go on to Art College to ultimately
head into a carreer of Graphic Design,
I was SO excited to hear my final exam results in Art!!
..Thats when the dream was shattered... I tore open the results
envelope expectantly only to read i had been marked a 'D' result!!!!
..I was devastated. I went to the school to collect my work and
my art teacher was present so i told him about it. He mentioned
something to me about 'subject related' pieces not being 'allowed'
in the final set pieces!?! before he left.
So that was that.
I should of appealed or kicked up a fuss but i was so upset that
i packed everything away and did not draw for around a year following
that result. Knowing that a few of the other students boards which
were all traced and copied work received 'B' grades, I took it as
a real insult at the time and that they may as well of said to me
that i could not draw and not to bother wasting my time with any
of it!
Shame they had that 'power' when everyone at the time said that
they 'didn't have a clue' but the damage was done so i sadly
put my pencils away.
After about a year of not drawing.. The same book by Boris Vallejo
happened to fall into my hands once again. It was like re-lighting
an oil lamp and turning the flame right up to glow brightly! ..My
artistic self just came alive once again as i looked through my
idol's paintings and in no time at all i had the urge to draw again.
Everyone around me was very pleased at this, as i was myself.. as
nothing's better than creating or expressing your natural artistic
ability ..just like laughter.. Its good for the soul :)
