Soulis,
I won’t get into my writing career or anything that I have published or not published but I will tell you about my experiences with art. In school I won a few awards for my work, mostly in painting but I also studied photography. After school I went to a private art university where I also studied painting and photography. There I sold a few prints, had a few exhibits and I also had few works of painting, sculpture and photography in a student museum show. I also developed various ways of processing photographs and worked in a darkroom. I went from there to study at a university where I learned commercial photography but I hated it and took some time off to study literature. I am now a teacher of young children but I am also pursuing a writing and art career.
I am not a professional critic but I do feel that I know a bit about art to give you my unprofessional opinion but I will not give it to you anymore. This is ridiculous and I will not spend any more of my time on this.
BTW: I tried to not sound too ostentatious but those are some of the things I have done in art. I don’t like boasting at all.
