In 1991, in a mental hospital in Orange County California, I had my first visual art inspiration while in a group therapy session. I took the idea home with me, bought some supplies and created my first painting. I have been painting ever since. I may go for months without going into my studio and then I may paint 2 works a day for several days. Wonderful Place you have here in this awe inspiring Internet world.
Life is an Art and requires creative thinking to survive.
For 8 years I have Been a volunteer Art Mom in public school. I support your cause to return Art to the education process. I have never had the opportunity to explore and develop my creativity as an artist. I know I have some talent but seem to be locked up. I become disappointed in a piece of work and after beating on myself for thinking I had any talent, I am afraid to begin again because I might be disappointed again.
