Ted Child

Painting & ceramics

My name is Ted. I am 12 years old and I like making paintings and ceramics inspired by the sea. All my life I have been fascinated by the water and the things that live in it. My favourite creatures are sharks and I often include them in my paintings and pottery. My grandfather taught me how to pot and my mum taught me how to paint. I like making artwork inspired by the sea because people need to be aware of what is happening to our oceans and protect them. When I grow up I would like to be a marine biologist and artist.
