Crazy about art
Artwork from YN
I have been drawing since I was a child and when I do is like time stops. I could be drawing for hours and don’t feel hungry, tired or wanting to stop. I am inclined to representational and figurative art and have an immense admiration for the style of the old masters.

I am a 67-year-old artist that is self-taught. I began my love of art as a very young child and presented anyone and everyone a piece (or more) of art regardless if they wanted it or not.

Soul’s Flight
Story and artwork from Mary O’Donnell
My name is Mary O’Donnell and I am a special education English teacher. Two years ago, I lost my beloved aunt that was like a mother to me, then I lost vision in my left eye. I was at a loss for what to do in order to move past the hardest time of my life. I thought about my aunt who loved to paint, and in her memory, I began to paint and draw in order to strengthen my remaining eye. I fell in love with art, and have been teaching myself how to draw and paint ever since. It has been such a fun journey, but there are challenges when trying to teach myself drawing.
