ESTERO, FL While most kids dabble in the arts for fun, 13-year-old Nalin Isme takes his talent more seriously, creating a brand and business for his work, which he sells online and at fine art festivals throughout Southwest Florida.
The Estero seventh grader, who hopes to one day become an architect, picked up his first crayon at 5 years old. At first, I did scribble art, but my mom saw that I was really good at that and she gave me her old art paints, watercolors and pastels, he said. And I just started practicing with them.
