By the time that she was 14 years old, she had had her art showcased alongside some of the greatest contemporary and modern artists in the world. Dr. Joanne Ruthsatz, the foremost authority on the clinical study of prodigies, named her an “advanced child prodigy”. I didn't know there even was such a field of study!

The reasons to be impressed with her don't stop there. After selling her first painting for $1,000 she decided to dedicate her time and money to charitable work, some of which include Habitat for Humanity and the Red Cross.
