I always did things with my hands (made baby clothes, made things for our house etc) but I wanted to find the root of my \u2018making\u2019. \u00a0I also wanted to get a degree as a life goal so I returned to school and took my BFA. \u00a0I worked hard and really focused on becoming better and focused on \u00a0the fundamentals &#8211; drawing, painting and sculpture. \u00a0In my final year I took the painting path. \u00a0It is my privilege to paint and because I got a late start, I\u2019m not wasting any time.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, now I assume she&#8217;s amazing and totally inspiring &#8230; and I&#8217;m right this time.
