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.

Today’s Artist Interview Is With Ruth Gray From Derbyshire, United Kingdom.
Whopple: How long have you been an artist?
Ruth: I’ve been officially an artist for about eight years. But I have always drawn and painted since I was a young child. I had a very inspirational Auntie who taught me watercolour painting when I was about nine or ten. I also had a fantastic couple of art teachers at school that encouraged me.
Whopple: Tell us about your first attempts to be creative.
Ruth: My Auntie supplied me with beautiful artist quality paints and paper and I use to draw faces over and over again. Then one day I sat down when I was about twelve and drew Marilyn Monroe my father and mother had it framed that inspired me to carry on!
