Alec Dron is a mentee of Rose 2 Hope and an incredibly talented artist. Below is his story in his own words:

“My name is Alec Dron. I’m 16 years old and I’ve been creating art for literally as long as I remember. Many children draw, their parents give them crayons and paper and they doodle. I think I probably began the same way, except after I liked crayons my parents got me cheap oil paints and a canvas and from there my passion for art only grew. About ninety percent of my drawing and painting skills are self taught, I only took formal art classes as a child. My art has always been  a hobby on the side -- like playing video games -- I never viewed it as a possible career, so it was never one of my priorities. So, I of course work hard in school and plan on attending an academic university. I have found an interest in neuroeconomics, it’s a newly developing field that essentially combines economics and psychology. Regardless of my academics, I had always tried to keep my love for the arts close to my side and I hope to pursue the passion. Now that Rose 2 Hope has found me, they are allowing me to do so and make art for a reason. I am making several designs for the organization and will soon be adding my work on the walls of the brand new, Rose 2 Hope office. Working with them, for me, feels like I’m finally using my art for a purpose.”
