Her graffiti art has led some critics to dub her the new Bank-she.

She has been branded a major talent by cult magazine Graphotism and made her name from colourful 20ft long murals.

But unlike Bristol-based stencil artist Banksy, Solveig Maseyk is only ten years old and enjoys collecting Doctor Who cards and swimming as much as wielding a spray can.

The pupil of Benfield Junior School, Old Shoreham Road, Portslade, started painting when she was just eight after seeing a lot of graffiti around Brighton.

Since then, she has created more than 20 pieces in the city, London and even in Berlin.

Her work is found at legal sites including Brighton's Black Rock, Kensington Street, the New England Quarter and formerly at Tarner.

Speaking to The Argus during her half-term break, she admitted she would like to be an artist when she grows up, but said that graffiti wasn't the only thing in her life.

And despite being branded the new Bansky, Solveig says her work is not similar to the Bristol artist's.

She said: "Bansky is good but he uses stencils, so it is not really the same.

"I like to do graffiti to show adults I can do it."
