"Marla Olmstead"Marla Olmstead is an abstract painter. She attracted international attention when The New York Times displayed her first major exhibition. Her work has been featured on The Today Show, CBS Sunday Morning, BBC World News and in Time Magazine. She enjoys reading, cooking, and gymnastics, but she is at her best before the canvas.
Marla Olmstead is 5 years old.
UPDATE:Out of curiousity, I decided to dig a little deeper into the story behind this brilliant child prodigy, and I found the following CBS News article. While interesting, it does bring up the valid question... Is Marla for real, or is she merely a clever hoax created by her amature artist parents? I don't know. That's a pretty mean thing to do to a 5 year-old. What do you think?
