'I just love being an artist and people seeing and buying my work. When I first joined Artists First I wasn’t sure they’d like me or if my work was good enough. Everyone said just do it your way - you are a good artist. I want to sell my work as much as I can, it makes me feel proud and it makes me feel special. I think I’ll always be an artist'.
