"Painting was an unexpected change in my life. I was on a one-way track to animation when I was gifted an easel filled with paints. After it sat there for a few weeks I had the urge to try my hand out. I put on some classical music and went to work. Even in those first few moments I knew my heart had been stolen. Within an hour my life's course had changed and I've never looked back." - Devyn Samara
