I've been involved with creating art for most of my life. In high school, my friends were working flipping burgers and I was selling hand-lettered this and that. I'd make the amount of money on one piece that a friend would make in her entire paycheck from McDonald's. I've done different types of art & ooak handcrafts throughout my life.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have seen works by many major artists in California, New York, Jerusalem, and Paris.
So yes...the visual arts are an enormous part of my life.
