That Didn't Hurt A Bit!

Trudy, of Crows in the Attic, has tagged me to reveal 5 things about myself and tag just as many friends for the same~ hmmm.. lets give it a whirl!

1. 
   
   I love anything Nightmare Before Christmas.


2. 
   
   I was scouted in High School by RIT to be a medical artist....but I didn't want to draw dead things!


3. 
   
   I was scouted at the Lake Placid School of Art by an Art School in Tennessee, to go on with my art education and then to the Hallmark Co. I had moved so many times when I was younger that I wanted to stay near home.


4. 
   
   I worked and paid my own way through 3 years of college.


5. I originally wanted to go to school and learn "claymation.

And now you know a wee bit more about me! Education is very important to me, enough that if my parents could not afford to send me, I would work hard and go as far as I could. As with any gift, school does not change it, it gives you support and knowledge with your materials and techniques. I'm thankful in looking back~ there are so many things that I learned and still use and share with fellow artists today. If you have the resources near you, take a class! You will be amazed at what is inside you, and if you step out of your media, you have the chance of discovering a hidden talent or a new passion. Art Rocks!

Ok... lets see if I can come up with 5 or nearly that many fellow blogging friends that haven't been already asked~

1. Cassie ~ from Mockingbird Hill, and a girl after my own heart when it comes to Rick Springfield!)


2. Kat ~ from Scardey Katerpillars No More. Amazing strength inside and out.


3. Susan ~ from Miss Maddies (oh I just love learning about people and her passion for all things OLDE!)


4. Carole ~from Carole's Country store. Such treasures on her blog and in her store!


5. Sandra Evertson ~ I love her work, it's so darned inspiring.
