All my life, I’ve been growing up around art. My Mom is an artist so we often went to

Museums, and I did art at school all the time. I never really thought that I had potential

and talent until I came to Mission: Renaissance. It really opened my eyes to what I was

capable of, and what kind of things I could eventually be doing, such as replicating

master paintings.

I am so proud to be graduating the tone course. I just finished my final – and I am

very satisfied with it. I’m so glad that I am progressing this much and I now am

beginning to see what I am and will be capable of.

Thank you Mission: Renaissance, my parents and grandparents for supporting me.

I truly appreciate it!
