When did you realize you loved art and wanted to be<br />
‘an artist’ I have drawn and painted since before I started<br />
kindergarten. I love art and had the same art teacher<br />
in Steubenville Ohio public school system from K to 12th<br />
grade. I have in recent years taken online classes and self<br />
study. I did a lot of crafts, but started to get serious about<br />
art about 5 years ago. I planned to return to art after I<br />
retire. I always wanted to pursue art but didn’t feel like I<br />
could support myself with the income so the next best thing<br />
I though would be going to school for draft design. After<br />
working for a while I decided to go back to school and get a<br />
BS in Mechanical Engineering. After working as an Engineering,<br />
Mathematician, and Programmer, I retired in 2002<br />
with my own business as a consultant. My husband moved<br />
to Ohio on a transfer and I retired. I decided to try my<br />
hand at art again.<br />
Who has been the greatest influence from your past<br />
to mentor you to this career My K - 12 art teacher Mr.<br />
Steve Psaroudis. He would travel to all the schools in the<br />
area giving art classes. In high school I had all these A’s on<br />
my report card and one big red F I was doing the artwork<br />
for another student who infatuated with during those years.<br />
I did this giant oil painting of The Blue Boy by Thomas<br />
Gainsborough for his rec room.<br />
Who is your mentor today, or another artist you admire<br />
and why I like Michael Parks, Andrew Wyeth and James<br />
Tissot. Michael Parks I love the fantasy, his is the first print<br />
I bought; Andrew Wyeth, I just think we connect many<br />
people have told me my work reminds me of his work. My<br />
photography runs along the same subject matter that he<br />
painted; and Tissot I like the details in his work<br />
