Art comes in many forms.
In school, I was very involved in the arts such as flag corps, symphonic band, jazz band, vocal ensemble, a cappella choir, art clubs, and theater.
As an adult, I married and became a mother. I continued to pursue my art interests periodically. Once my child was grown, I acquired a real estate license and consumed myself into the business for several years. I then became interested in competitive dancing. The art world can be competitive at times, but I think that’s what drives us to improve. If we realize that we should be competing against how good we were yesterday, we can accept the challenge of becoming better tomorrow.
When asked what I wanted to be when I grow up I would naively reply “a famous artist”. I’m not sure about the famous part, but here I am, an Artist.
