A YOUNG local artist named Jasper Challinor is sharing his creativity with the Tatura community through the sale of greeting cards bearing his colourful and unique illustrations.
Tinkers Twist Tatura is stocking a selection of the vibrant cards alongside some art his equally talented mother, Naomi Collard, has for sale.
Jasper, 16 years old, has always had a love for drawing according to mum Naomi.
“Jasper and his sister Wendy have been drawing together since they were very little, they just love it,” she said.
“I remember even Jasper’s maths books at school had intricate illustrations in the margins, he’s always been very talented.”
Jasper says that art brings him joy and happiness and he is inspired by his own thoughts as well as influenced by his sister who also enjoys drawing.
One day, Jasper hopes to forge a career based on his love of drawing, and if how fast his cards are selling out is any indication, he is well on his way to achieving that.
“I sold two cards only an hour or so ago,” said Tinkers Twist Tatura owner Sharryn Smith.
“People saw Naomi’s post on Facebook showcasing the cards and have popped in to show their support.”
Jasper hopes his drawing brings others as much joy as it brings him and is glad to be sharing it with the community.
