Welcome to Artep

Primary school is a blur except art class, don't know if it was cause I had a really nice teacher or because we got to paint.
So when they had a art competition and out of a tissue box and cotton wool I made an exact replica of my poodle dog...It was a shock to have won second prize.(The first price went to a girl who's parents had build a horse the same size as her.)
In high school, I was always drawing my friends biology pictures for her, not thinking much of it...

I love to look at photo's and art piece, not knowing or thinking much about it...but they stuck with me.

Always admired people that could paint.
Small things through out my life should have told me I loved art, but it just never clicked.

In 2008 I had decided to take up an art class as a hobby.

To my surprise drawing came easily to me...surprise at how good my drawings where for someone that never thought of doing it before.

Suddenly I had wished I had studied art so I could make a living out of it, so I gave it a shot one year at UNISA.
I loved it! It was a lot of hard work and I learned a lot, but it was a 'hard-core' course and I couldn't finish it because I have to make a living at the same time...

So now I'm working on my art when I have time, and being an armature not good enough for a art gallery.

This website will be my art gallery...my name is Petra (Thus Artep)

Welcome to my personal art gallery, hope you enjoy.
