“I’ve been painting since I was a teenager. I give credit to my dad for dragging the whole family, since the time my siblings and I were little kids, to all those museums every time we visited a new city or country. Even a quiet Sunday afternoon at home would turn into a trip to the local modern museum. Credit also goes to my mom who bought oil pastel sets and drawing pads for us to use at home. Encouragement from both my parents was essential in allowing me to think that becoming an artist was an actual possibility.”
