I would like to share with you, the portfolio of artist/designer Natalie Abadzis. The captured moments Natalie shares with us at byebyeballoon, spark a sense of calm and wishfulness in me. “Byebyeballoon is a quarry of thoughts. A series of seconds. Drawings are served up fast, like noodles and fish mezes.”

When asked “Why do you think it is important for children to experience “art”?” she replied “It is important for children to experience art because it is all about unfiltered expression. Young children do not have preconceptions of what kind of mark-making they ought to make, they just go ahead and create, applying their creativity to the piece they are working on – that very moment”.
