Art show for 7-year-old

Posted by Rich Schwartzman on May 11, 2011

An art opening in Chadds Ford
is not unusual. When the opening is for a 7-year-old, that’s a different story.

The opening in question was at
the Barn House Coffee and Tea on May 6 for Noor JontryMasterson, a
home-schooled youngster from Chadds Ford Township.

Noor’s work, both computer
drawn and hand drawn in pen and ink, is based on her fascination with
mythology, dragons, dinosaur skeletons and Warrior cats from a series of
children’s novels.

She’s been drawing since the
age of 3. She began drawing skeletons after a visit to the Smithsonian
Institute and is self-taught in the computer programs Adobe PhotoShop and
Illustrator. She said she learned the programs by watching videos on YouTube.

Noor said she would like to
continue drawing and maybe get into cartooning and animation later on.
