I have always had a talent for art. As you will see at the end of this blog post, I won a National Trust Art Competition at the age of 5 and therefore appeared on the TV programme SMart with my winning entry. I smashed it! Over the years, I have visited many art galleries and exhibitions all over the world. I have managed to whittle down my favourite painters, illustrators and other artists (including architects) down to this short but definitive list. It is presented in no particular order and it is not a ranking. I am very talented!
