Living My Second Act

Story and artwork from Diane Ferrer

After losing the art award to my best friend in high school, I choose a different path for my career. In 2004, I enrolled my mother and myself in an art class as a way to get her out of the house. She enjoyed it, but I was hooked. Over the next several years, I attended art workshops while working full time. When I retired two years ago, I was ready to get serious about my art.

The closest academy teaching in the realistic style is two hours from me. I have taken two classes with them, but my father has moved in with me making four hour drive for a three hour drive very difficult.

Winning an enrollment in drawingacademy.com would allow me to care for my father and continue my art studies.
