ARTIST IN THE MAKING

As a child I loved painting, doodling, and coloring in books. My Grandmother noticed how much I liked art, so she asked me to draw a simple house. First she demonstrated how to connect the lines to create a house. I made my own house drawing and then we shaded it together. Reflecting on my past, these simple instructions were my childhood building blocks. Her support nurtured the artist who I am today.
Grandma was surrounded by art supplies on a daily basis and these memories are still vivid. She was known for toll
paintings and classes at TMA. I loved spending time at her craft-store, the "Funhouse" in Toledo, Ohio.

  Often on the weekends, we would be painting plaques or stringing beads together for keychains. By second grade, I had completed a ceramic project without exploding it in the kiln. Later in eighth grade my teacher asked me to paint our class mascot on the windows. Jumping ahead to High School, I was involved with the theatre. There were projects for set construction, stage design and a poster design for one of the plays.
