My name's Stephanie Sekula and I'm a 17 year old student, aswell as a freelance artist. I live in England and I love penguins, my family and friends, travelling and I'm addicted to chocolate.

I've been drawing ever since I can remember and I enjoy being creative. Some of my interests include: art; web design; taking photos of anything and everything; doodling my cartoon penguins and of course, eating chocolate!

I'm passionate about art and I love doing it both inside of college and out. My favourite subject to draw is wildlife, and I've recently started taking commissions for pet portraits too. I'd say my style of artwork is very traditional and realistic, and I like to work mainly in coloured pencils and graphite pencils, aswell as pastels and acrylic paints.

In the future I hope to become a successful artist or illustrator and raise enough money to be able to go out on my own research trips. I also intend to write and illustrate a series of children's books using my penguins, so look out!
