• Just imagine this as an intro to an artist's social media or a gallery showcase: “Hi, I'm a young artist in the beginning of my artistic journey. I like to paint, but I'm more of a mixed media artist. I never imagined I'd be one, but since I have a cat it just sort of happened… so I mainly use acrylics, oil colors, and cat hair. I also like to sculpt with clay. And cat hair. Because the cat hair just finds itself stuck onto my creations. So… yeah, mixed media artist. I have no choice. Also, excuse me, I have to go, my cat just knocked another drying brush into the bin. Thank you for listening, bye now.”
