A four-year-old girl is wowing the New York art world with paintings that are drawing comparisons with Jackson Pollock and Wassily Kandinsky. Marla Olmstead, from Binghampton, in New York state, has been painting since just before she was two years old. Using brushes, spatulas , her fingers and even ketchup bottles, she is creating canvases of six by six foot. The prodigy has already sold about 25 paintings, raising $40,000 and a new exhibition opens this week.
