Karen Malbon, Newtownards, Belfast Member Since August 2011 Artist Statement I decided to make use of my talents and joined an art class. always been a doodler with a Biro or pencil never realising my true potential until I started the classes. that's when I found my strongest points were using pastels and charcoal. The art streak runs in my family my mother used to enjoy painting and a successful brother Chris Malbon who is a graphic designer and illustrator. I have been inspired by my brother and hopefully I will get noticed one day too and make the Malbon family well known for its talents :)
