Why Llamas?

Why Llamas?

During a recent interview with Mansfield Commission For The Arts, I was asked why I’ve chosen llamas as a central theme in my art. I said it was because of their long necks and that they’re fluffy and silly. I want to create art that makes myself and others happy.

Once I started drawing and painting llamas people really identified with my work more. They fell in love with the cuteness and playfulness of it. I had thought about not painting llamas anymore and moving on to something else, but when people found out they encouraged me to keep adding them into my artwork. I thought people would get bored with them, but thankfully that hasn’t been the case!

I started winning contests with them and have gained more recognition with them. It’s so nice to see how much joy they bring to people. They’ve done well for me, so I can’t give up llamas now and besides, I really don’t want to!
