London Palmer Hello, my name is London Palmer and I am in 8th grade. I started drawing as a way to express myself. My parents suggested art as a venting source because I have a hard time expressing myself with words so I use art as a way to do that. I'm an older sister to an amazing little brother and a music lover. My dad introduced this subject to me when I was around 3 years old. At first it was just a hobby but now it's one of my biggest passions. Hope you enjoy where the adventure awaits!
