My name is Thando Dlamini born in 2001 in Ncala Section a township in Katlehong.
When I was 7 years old doing grade 1 in Intokozo Primary School I use to look at my dad’s drawings and I started developing love for Art. At the age of 8 I started creating my own art, expressing myself in drawing.
Well I became obsessed with drawing, I did it during a lesson at school and it got me in trouble more than once. As time went, I developed new skills, I even learned to draw using my mobile phone creating digital art. Even though I don't have support from my parents I still love art.
I'm a really shy person I don't know how to start a conversation with anyone not even my own family that's why I don't even have friends. I spend most of my days either drawing, playing video games or studying.
My dream is to become an animator or a well-known artist.
