My Bio
Hi everyone!
I always loved art but when I decided this is what I was going to pursue in life was when I was in third grade. We didn't have an art class, it was really just a cart with colored paper, crayons, and some paints that all the classes shared. I thought my self very talented and other kids would ask me to help them on Christmas or valentines day when we made cards for our families. One day my teacher asked for our attention while we were painting, "Can everyone look at Janai's painting?" she said. I became so excited, my teacher noticed how good my painting was! "This is a perfect example.... of what NOT to do." My heart sank, I was crushed and to top it all off I had been planning on giving this to my parents.
I went home that day and explained to my parents what happened with a great deal of tears. Do you know what they told me? They said it's OK because I was probably never going to be an artist any way. It was right then I decided this is what I was meant to do.
By age 17 I had two published book covers, one internationally, multiple business cards, and a CD cover.
It just goes to show that hard work goes a long way and never let anyone get you down.
