Alice who has been attending my classes from the age of 6, is a top art scholar at John Paul College.
I am very grateful to the Konyves family for their support over the years as their older brother came to me from the age of 6 as well. I am blessed.
Harper has been coming to me for art lessons for numerous years. Her Dad and uncle are both professional artists. She is bound to have a career in the arts and she certainly has exceptional attendance and has the necessary qualities of persistence and perseverance.
Elodie has been with me from an early age, I think around 7. She is wanting to have a career in the arts so we are encouraging her as much as possible. She draws every day and is often asked by her school to design and complete murals and large paintings. She has the necessary focus and determination to succeed in any field she chooses.
Look at this beautiful mosaic work that Harper recently completed. Very attractive placement of times and colour choices.
Mosaic flowers brighten up any home. Elodie is very patient and methodical.
I regularly enter students into outside exhibitions and sometimes their work sells, which is good for them and me. I always encourage them to put their work out into public places so they can gain experience of being like real practising professional artists. I also encourage their parents to displaythe art in their home so they can see their progression.
This is one of my favourite artworks of Alices and it sold in an exhibition.
The key to selling is for the students to tell all their friends and family about their exhibitions.
People often buy from people they like and know and it's ever too early to promote your work.
I prefer children's art to a lot of adults.
As Picasso said
" Every child is an artist, the challenge is to remain one when you grow up".
If your child or grandchild is showing signs of being really interested in art I am really interested in teaching them.
These days there are a lot of vocational opportunities in the arts and you can accelerate their creative abilities by enrolling them in my after school art classes.
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3.30pm to 4.30pm and 4.35pm to 5.35pm.
