A lot of little kids are balls of creativity. Some lose some of that spark as they get older, but some are determined to keep it an become artists. Marely falls under the second category. When her big sister, Emely, found out that their mother doesn’t seem to be very supportive of her dream…
1. Twitter user Emely tweeted this sad message from her little sister, Marely.

Lots of moms say that kind of stuff!! I wanted to be a singer when I was a kid, and my mom always told me I wasn’t good enough. It’s extremely heartbreaking, I know how Marley feels

4. It inspired Hannah to give her own shoes a Marely-style makeover.
Dear Marely,
I hope I got the technique right. These are some DOPE shoes! Keep up the good work!

6. She has an admirer in Venezuela as well.
Hey Emy, tell Marely mine didn’t come out NEARLY as good as hers, but that I’d be more than happy to make her a custom portrait inspired by the painting! DM me if you see this, lots of love and support from Venezuela 💛❤💙 pic.twitter.com/a3G9Mn9VM7

12. People are already analysing her artistic style.
Your sister’s work looks like Alfred Jensen’s, a Guatemalan abstract painter from the 1950s! He is highly respected in the artistic community and his works are in museums across the US.
There are a lot of other paintings by other artists in the same vein. Keep up the good work!! pic.twitter.com/lL56QKefhO— the internet is dangerous (@pornplotlines) February 17, 2018
13. And the last word is for the young artist herself.
Marely wanted to give all of you a quick thanks! I also want to say thank you for making my little sister feel so special. Bless the twitter fam💛❤💙 pic.twitter.com/BPojiVqEOP
