How My Artistic Life Began........
On a day in August, in what now seems like another life time, over twenty years ago, I sat down at my table in my studio apartment with my first free day in months. It was a time in my life when I would get up at 5:00 every morning and go non-stop until 11:00-12:00, with a little power nap at around 4:00 - 4:30 before going to my night job. I asked myself "what am I going to do today?" It was at a time in my life that I was going through my separation with my ex-husband, stage actor Derrick Weeden, and I was starting to question what I was going to do with my life, so I enrolled in a life drawing class in the fall. The class was just a few short weeks away and I remember sitting at my table where there was a smaller Strathmore drawing tablet I had colored in from years ago, and some colored pencils that were used to create a huge sign saying Happy 30th Birthday Derrick. I remember thinking that if I am going to learn how to draw I might as well start with something...
