Sophia Dawson's Art Exhibit

Acclaimed painter, Picasso, once said "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." Born on the 25th day of February, this now 21 year old Jamaica native and budding artist will be hosting her premiere art exhibit, Wet Paint, this weekend.

With the heart of a performer and the ambitions of a young entrepreneur, Dawson learned young that although she belonged in the arts, it wouldn't be the performing arts. She admired the creativity of her siblings, and began a love affair with all art -- from designing and selling custom made jewelry, to pursuing a music career, to finally finding herself as a painter.

MMHighlights caught up with the young artist, to talk about her past, present, and future as a member of the art community. Find the interview at: http://mrandmrshighlights.blogspot.co... Stay tuned for the post exhibit interview.

"This is not the end. This is only the beginning. Her life is still changing. The paint is still wet...There's still time to grow..."
