How long have you been drawing or creating art?

Since I was 9 months old, I started fingerpainting in my highchair.

My mum has inspired me as she always has done crafty stuff with me.

My granny who lives in Western Australia. She loves drawing and sewing. We always look forward to seeing each other as we enjoy time chatting and drawing together.

I draw at home for fun. I have won a poster competition for the schoolbook fair. I like. I love drawing animals, especially Koalas.

Drawing makes me feel calm, relaxed and happy.

My dream is to keep creating drawings and hope to have them on display so people can enjoy them.

I also like drawing with watercolours.
