I’m 63 yrs old, I grew up loving art. In my late teens and early 20’s I sold several pieces, as I grew old life happened and became a widow with 2 children to rear. So the responsibilities of this life took me away from my first love, art! Five year ago I became disabled and for the first time did not know what to do with my life.

I heard an Italian sing group made up of three teenagers called “Il Volo”, Falling in love with their beautiful music, they spoke of following their dreams and that anyone can dream! So two year later I said why not. I purchased what I needed and began sketching again. Though very crude at first, it finally started coming back. I have been selling some pieces again and I sketch daily, but even at my age I know there is still much to learn. I cannot get out because of my disability, but I can learn and that is what I want to do! …
