I started painting when I was 9 months

1:16

old. My dad put a canvas down on the

1:19

floor because he used to paint a little

1:20

bit. I just started crawling on the

1:23

canvas and started [music] painting

1:25

before him. That's how everything

1:27

started. That was my first painting.

1:34

Well, my first show was at the age of 2

1:37

years old. Without telling the gallery

1:39

owner her age, her mother presented the

1:41

work and Alita was booked for her first

1:44

show. Since then, she has taken her art

1:46

across the globe and has sold paintings

1:49

for around [music] $35,000.

2:06

I paint every few days, but mainly when

2:09

I'm inspired.

2:10

2:13

universe. I think about animals, pretty

2:16

much everything that has to do with

2:17

nature

2:20

with the violins on the canvas. I want

2:23

to show that the whole universe is

2:25

singing.
