From a young age I have loved art. This is probably because I was inspired by my mother, who was an artist. I spent many hours watching her paint. Her specialty was oil painting, but she had a love of creating in other ways as well.
Every year from a young age I went to the fair with my mother, Jennie, and was excited to see her latest painting on display with all of the other artists’ work, who had also entered their art work in the fair. It was the highlight of the year. Later in life I went to art school.
