NOT :

I don’t remember me starting painting or drawing. I’ve been always doing that. My mom says I was one year old when I started painting with fingers.
With 2 years I got my first gelcrayons, markers and oil pastels. I was so happy about it!

NOT  :

I can spend a lot of time looking at different kind of insects, sea creatures and other animals in our garden, on TV or in our books! We have many books about the nature, animals, insects, our planet, the universe. When I play with paints and colors, I tell stories about things around me that I love. It is just as exciting as learning new things!

The rainbow! I love the colors of the rainbow!

Sometimes we look all together through our window at the huge rainbow over the houses and trees. It
is magical.
