My name is Aran, I'm a 10 year old Artist and designer, with a great passion for cars
Since the age of three years old, I grew an interest in fire engines, trucks and any vehicles that had wheels. I still have my collection of fire engine toys. This inspired me to start drawing them!
Cars and engineering are my passion, but I also enjoy drawing and painting landscapes. I started experimenting drawing all sorts of wildlife from insects, birds, to animals such as elephants.
My love for supercars started to grow, and seeing many great designers like Frank Stephenson, Ian Callum, Gordon Murray and Peter Stevens. Simply too many great designers to list who inspire me.
This has helped to create so much joy to draw and paint many many cars, also designing my own. Leading me to have exhibited my work at Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2023.
I recently presented Ne-Yo with a painting I had done for him, of his favourite Dragon Ball Z character - Vegeta.
In January 2024 I had the great pleasure to be invited to Mr Reggie Jackson's 'Mr October Foundation - Golf Classic' in Florida. It was very exciting as I presented him with an acrylic painting I had done especially for him of his favourite Mercedes.

About my Art journey
Drawing on my whiteboard
( all the time!)
Since the age of three, I have always loved cars, trucks and many other vehicles that I could learn about engineering. I remember being so excited when I got my Liebherr truck and all my Bob the Builder toys for my fifth birthday.
Drawing my favourite toys
I had a yellow digger toy that became part of a bigger collection of digger and truck toys as well as my fire engine toys that I drew on a whiteboard
Sketching at car shows
I have attended many cars shows since 2021 and loved to sketch the cars that I saw there.
Progressing to watercolour paintings
My drawing skills continued to get better and I began experimenting with watercolour and acrylic paints.
