Luca Idili 

     Luca Idili is an Italian self-taught artist , he came to Taylor's Lakeside to tell us about his experiences and how he started his journey as an artist . To me , the most interesting fact about him is his working experiences , he took a lot of jobs when he was still very young such as construction , bartender , police , waiter , kitchen helper , cashier , account manager in Microsoft . His journey as an artist started from painting his own wife , he then took lessons online like Youtube in order to improve his skills on drawing and painting . He inspired me to keep on painting without the fear to make mistakes .
