Whopple: Tell Us About Your First Attempts To Be Creative?
Sarah: When I was younger, I used to go to evening art groups after school. I became interested in figure drawing and still life. I also produced a few drawings of my bedroom and the view of the garden from my bedroom window. It was also at this time that I discovered Leonardo Da Vinci and Salvadore Dali and became inspired by them.
I also went through a phase of pressing foliage from the garden, keeping these as records of plant life, which I then made drawings of.

Whopple: How long have you been an artist?
Alanna: I have felt an artist living inside of me since I was very young.
Whopple: Tell us about your first attempts to be creative.
Alanna: At age 5 I would work at my art table in our living room, making collages out of paper shapes and drawing with my toes. In 5th grade I started using fashion to stand out. I decorated my white sneakers with colored glue and used barrettes to clip chunks of braided shoelaces and lanyards into my hair. I got mixed responses from my classmates, but I felt great because I was starting to bring that artist out of me.
