A Fire For Pete T-Shirt

this is my first 50x60cm Piece of artwork, the largest I had attempted, up till this project, was 30x40cm. Until I met Pete, an established Australian artist who really liked my work. he wanted to know why I had only attempted small pieces, I told him I didn't have the resources to go bigger and he immediately started collecting stuff from his art studio. He gave me so much paint that I had no excuses so out of gratitude, I did this fire for him, because he loved them the most.

My Journey as an artist started in March 2017, I was highly encouraged to pursue painting, to become an Artist. Outside of my Counselling experience of Art as a form of therapy, i knew nothing. So with much Cohesion and praise, to which i am extremely grateful now, I learnt to embrace this journey and to see where it leads me. After all, I have a passion for learning and i can teach myself, so why not. Now, nearly 5 years later I have discovered that Art is a part of who I am, a reflection of Me, as within so without. Art has always been there, dormant, and I had no voice or ability to express myself, my feelings as an Autistic in this world, until Art was awakened in me. In my journey so far I have realised I am not limited by styles...
