Elviscocho by Naomi Rios in Vancouver

I started painting since I was super little, my dad has always drawn pretty well and one day when I was about 3 years old he bought me a tiny watercolour palette which I finished sooner than he expected. A couple of years later I started selling cartoon drawings to my friends at school and when my dad saw all the work he went nuts and bought me my first canvas and oil painting when I was about 9 years old (which turned out really ugly); I kept painting and painting until I actually noticed I liked what I was doing. Now I am 22 years old, passionate about art, studying architecture in Vancouver and I would love to start earning money doing what I love instead of having a job to pay bills.
