My name is Israel W/Michael. I am a full time sketcher. I thing the love of sketching developed in my heart during my life at Lice G/Mariam School when I was 5 years old. At that time; I was simply sketching my internal feeling without supporting my hobby by education. After time, I was glad to get training. After I have finished the given training. I was sick and get disabled. That made me great grief.  But I was never given up of my sketching. I have sketching many pictures and that help me for further research. I never enjoy by doing this same; because my pleasure will come in the long future. Art make happy; I should see the aesthetic value of art.

The materials that I was using for sketching are Canvas, paper, wood, wall, inks, water oil, etc. with brush. My work is different from others by simply reflection of internal feeling. It is enough if it might catch my feeling and reflects our life, culture and history; the rest was apt to audience.  I am also ready for sketching more pictures by motivating my internal feeling. My pictures are Sami abstract and are important for reflecting internal satisfaction & its color arrangement also squishing sense.

In my village, there was no child with love of sketching; but those whom with the love of art were learnt it. There were also diplomats those whom bought and printed the sketch. I am doing same for country peoples whom in love with my pictures. These are among my sketching.
