"I never intended to be a professional artist. Like many artists, I drew constantly throughout my childhood. Although my lack of formal art education has not been a hindrance for me, had I known I’d become a professional artist someday I probably would have chosen to
focus on art in school. At that time, though, art didn’t seem to be a good career choice. Being a “starving artist” didn’t appeal to me, and I didn’t want to teach, so drawing was more of a habit. It was something I felt compelled to do, but had no intention of doing anything with it."
