Alexandra Nechita.

A couple of years ago I went on a two week art cruise in Alaska. I went with my family and some family friends. It was rainy and cold and honestly kind of boring for me. I mean I did see and do interesting things do not get me wrong but it was not a teenage friendly cruise. Since it was an art cruise there were a lot of auctions and my parents went to a few of them. There was also a very famous artist who was selling her art on the cruise. Her name was Alexandra Nechita. I had no idea who she was and had never heard of her before. Little did I know she was known as this generations "petite picasso". She was an artist since she was a little girl and was a millionare because of her excellent art at a very young age. Not only is she an amazing artist but she also donates generous amounts to many different charities. She is only 24 years old and already has gotten so many achievements. She has been invited to paint in studios that only famous painters have been invited to such as Picasso, and Matisse. She has created so many paintings and they are all very unique. She is known for drawing misshaped people and creatures. I even got to meet her when I was on the boat. Meeting her made me wonder all the other interesting and amazing people I still do not know about.

  2. Even though you did not find the cruise very entertaining, at least yo can say you have been to Alaska! That is very cool and I'm sure not many people can say they have been there. Learning about Alexandra Nechita may not be the coolest thing for teenagers but again, later on in life it might be a cool thing to look back on.
