My art I have been into faeries and dragons since I can remember and always had my head up in the clouds and never thought I would be painting my dreams but here I'm.The kitchen table where I do all my painting and sketch at my little drawing table thats all I have room for. I haven't had any classes for drawing or painting I just kept at it,I was 12 years old when I started doodling faeries and other fantasy creatures so it's been a long time.I really didn't take to painting till about four years ago and now I'm so busy sketching and painting it's too funny but also enjoyable.
