Every year, students explore their hobbies and interests through Florida Virtual School (FLVS) courses, clubs, and activities. This year, FLVS Flex student artist Nimue took 5th grade Art to develop her techniques and learn about various art forms and styles, but this was not the start of her journey. Nimue began painting when she was just 4 years old! In fact, many of her family members are artists as well.
When Nimue was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a connective tissue disorder, her family introduced her to painting to help improve her focus and mental health.
Art quickly turned into a passion that Nimue could share with her family, painting with her grandma and learning about art forms like drawing and sculpting from her mother. This is where she says she finds inspiration for her work, creating painting of landscapes, flowers, and birds.
