My name is Camryn Nicole Green and I am an ordinary 9 th grader
adjusting to Rolesville High School. When I walk the halls of my new
school, no one knows about my business, my previous television
interviews or newspaper articles. As I sit in class, they have no idea that
I have sold over 500 pieces of art or given back to youth globally. To my
friends, I am just Camryn, but to the world, I am CAMRYN GREEN;
author, entrepreneur, illustrator and youth motivator.
Starting my business was not easy. At the age of 8 years old, my parents
knew that I had a passion and gift for art, but I was very quite and did
not like speaking to adults. Early on, my mother casually posted a few
of my paint-by-numbers pictures and early canvas work on her
Facebook page. Immediately, people requested pricing to purchase
them! Soon, prolific artists were reaching out and inquiring about my
age and me. They said that my highlighting and shadowing was far
advanced for my age and suggested that I move completely to creating
my own canvas works. Since my pieces were in demand, I started my
art business, Camryn’s Creations.
