Make content about: Salma backed herself as an artist

Salma doubted her artistic skills until her very first oil painting won a major prize and sold.

This story

While studying in an art class, Salma entered a national student art competition with her first completed oil painting, The Boy In The Durag. Her piece won the fine art category and became her first sold artwork. The win gave her the confidence to forgo university and work as a self-taught artist.
