"The studio has been a part of my life since I was 10 years old. My parents
took my sister and I to the studio when it first opened in 2002 and I went
on to join the original Saturday morning workshops. From there the studio
quickly became my second home and when I turned 14, I started helping around
the studio and painting pieces for the display shelves. It wasn't long
before I became a regular assistant during the school holidays.
There is no doubt that the studio has played a huge roll in my life – it has
given me the confidence from an early age to focus my future on art. I have
completed the 2 year National Diploma course at the Isle of Man College and
have been accepted at Leeds College of Art and Design where I start my
course in September, 2011.
I know that my passion for art stemmed
from the children's workshops because they were always exciting, educational
and fun! The studio gave me the opportunity to be creative – there is
nowhere else on the Island quite like it. As I have grown up with the
studio, I am eager to teach the next generation of painters."
