Genius or coincidence? The two year old with her own art exhibition

Most parents believe their child has some sort of genius ability, but one mother in Australia successfully convinced a gallery director that her daughter was worthy of her own art exhibition.

Mark Jamieson agreed to show new artist Aelita Andre's work in his gallery - without knowing she was just 22 months old.

His mother told The Age: "Of course, every mother is proud of their child. I didn't tell him (Jamieson) because I had all these feelings going through my head — fear, embarrassment."

Eventually he found out, but agreed to show the works anyway and they're for sale at 350-1000 Australian dollars. With that in mind, we invite you to submit your pictures for our first Alpha Mummy Young Picasso gallery.

Simply email a digital photo of your youngster's masterpiece to alphamummy@timesonline.co.uk with details of the artist and we'll display them below. Meanwhile, you can reminisce with this video of the Hartbeat opening titles.

Who knows, maybe Jay Jopling will come calling...
