I remember when my art career began. I was five years old and my kindergarten class held a fire safety art contest. I can't recall what the picture looked like, but I won the big prize of $5.00. Big money! After that happened, each year the teachers would use me to help create bulletin-boards and draw caricatures for their lessons. In high school, I was the one who was called on by everyone to paint the run-through banner or the cover for the annual and cartoons, etc. I miss those days! Ever since then I have been on the journey of learning new forms of art and design. Blacksmithing, copper, woodwork and furniture making, trompe l'oiel murals, sculpture, and interior design. Every day is a learning experience when your an artist.
I love it. Thanks to my creator for my gifts! May it be used for the good of the world.
