Not afraid to become “AMAZING”!
Artworks by Sandy Fox
It’s been a long, rather fractured journey…please read on. I had just come out of an orphanage in the early forties and moved into a cinderblock basement with my grandmother and grandfather. There was an old stove, a washtub, a cardtable, an old chair and an incinerator. As my grandmother and grandfather played cards every night after dinner, I would sit in the big chair and draw pictures in my grandmother’s books.
Overcoming Lifes’ Obstacles
Drawing by Charles Simmons
For as long as I can remember I have had a love and passion to draw.
Through the years, due to various things in my life making demands on my time, drawing and art in general, has had different faces and roles in my life.
I had a very bad experience with an art instructor when I was about 13/14 years old.

Great drawing course

Creativity is my passion
Drawing and story by Kat
Hello,
When I finished high school, I asked my parents if I could go to Art university. Long story short, they were of the opinion that it will not put bread on my table and that art school was only attended by druggies. My art teacher at high school tried to convince my parents that I was talented and to please let me go to the art university in the town where I lived. I was actually forbidden to go. I became an office manager, but art and creativity has always been a part of my life.
