Artist Statement (include type of art, techniques & materials used, what it means to you)I used watercolors and different sized paintbrushes. I just sit with the paints and see what I'm drawn to do with them.
Artist Bio: Tell Us Your StoryMy name is Sammy, I am 14 years years old. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor when I was 5 and had surgeries for it when I was 5 and 7 years old. Having a brain tumor means I can't do things other people do or sometimes have things other people have. But there are some good things, like I got to go on a Make A Wish trip, go to a Red Sox game, and a Dave and Busters party. In my free time I like to bake, do lots of art, and puzzles.
