Art class was always my favorite time in every grade especially through high school.  I had a great art teacher that was an amazing mentor.  I took every art class with him available in high school. That is when I first realized that I could draw.  

I guess you could say I was “self taught”, but I like to think I was blessed with an amazing gift.  I just sat down one day and found a picture of a dog and wondered if I could draw it.  My pencil flowed very easily on the paper and the next thing I knew, I was looking at a dog that I just sketched! I loved the fact when I draw, I go to this special place where you can be yourself, where you can absolutely let everything go and everything will be fine.

I have done many drawings and have either gave them away or paid with a favor.  As time has gone by, I realized I could make a living from it.  They always say, find a job that you love to do and do it wholeheartedly.  
I have had some artwork recently published in a book.  What an amazing experience!  I found I wanted to do more and I still have a long way to go to do everything, but it's worth every step I take.
