Everyone in my class wanted me to draw for them. That's when I knew I had talent. |
I loved my job and I loved dealing with people and I really like the traveling I did through the company. That is how I stayed in touch with my art. |
I started taking courses and became an oil painter, and then an instructor. |
I was able to plan the art program at the local YMCA in Rhode Island for their summer program. |
My mother put a large chalkboard in her kitchen where I could draw. I drew what I saw around me. |
