Who? Me?
As a wee baby, my mama knew I was an artist! After 5 boys, I am sure she was praying I would bring something different to the family. So I became the artist of the family. When I was in Junior High my art teacher pushed me harder then other students. When I asked her why, she said "because you have talent and I want you to develop into a strong artist" and so my love for art grew. ART was my thing!
In High school, my plans were to become an Interior Designer or a Packaging Designer because I loved Business & Marketing. In college at Florida, I took every possible art class offered and majored in Business Marketing with a Minor in Art.
You see I never planned to be a teacher but rather to go "big time" into business & advertising. Just like you, I had plans to make it "Big"!
Life did not have the same plan for me and when I married and had my first daughter, my mama said "you should teach art, you love art"! "No way", I said." I would never enjoy teaching!"
