This artist has found the freedom that she has always desired to explore all art without the restraints of painting to a specific style or market. Over the course of Neadeen's art career, she has worked to steadily improve her technique and refine her application, and this can be seen especially in work created following her return to the study of subjects more often found in traditional fine art.

My thoughts on 'creativity'

I believe that when children exhibit artistic or creative interests they should be encouraged at all costs. As parents it is important to recognize if a child is creative.  Unlike the father of the famous female artist, American impressionist Mary Cassatt, who, at the beginning of her career stated he would rather see his daughter dead than become an artist! Later on he became her staunchest supporter! They say creative children are usually free thinkers, gullible daydreamers and storytellers.  They usually see humor in much of what others deem as serious. As a child I was all of the above and much more, I spent 13 years in an all girls Catholic Convent and I can tell you (grinning), I did not conform well to such a structured environment. Yet on the other hand there were two 'Nuns' who understood and channeled and mentored much of my creativity and quest for discovery and learning art.
