I've attached a few drawings from 1977 when I was in 8th grade. I loved stuff like this, and I did 6 of these, I think and I'm pretty sure I copied them from some greeting cards. I was so proud of myself, I'm glad that I put all that art into protective sleeves, because finding them, again, has inspired me ;) When I found these, I began to realize that my ability to create has always been part of me. At times, it allowed me to escape the chaos that was my home life. As I chart my most prolific periods of art creation, it seems that each one is tied to change. Sometimes uncomfortable with relationships, other times lonely and depressed, I was able to put my ideal life on paper, and get approval for it. Shucks, I got good grades for it, too!
Now, I am going through another big change in my life, and I am ready to plunge into, and relish the time I get to spend with, my art!
