I first discovered painting in my high school art
class. I had always loved art and all of the different mediums, from pastel drawing to ceramics. But in that particular class I knew I wanted to be an artist. After graduation, I took a few classes at my local college, but became very discouraged, and no longer wanted to paint for classes or show my work publicly. I turned my collegiate focus to art history, which became a passion for me. But I did maintain my interest in painting and would paint for myself throughout the years, as well as remaining creative in other mediums.
When
I became pregnant with my son, I began painting full time again, and after his birth as often as possible. He now has his own area in my studio and loves to paint as well!
This Year
I have produced more pieces than any other year.
And with the encouragement of friends and family I finally began to post my pieces online. It has made me realize that it is time to stop hiding and to put myself out there in the art world as much as possible. p a g e 39
