Art was a way of life in my family. My grandfather, N.C. Wyeth, who died a year before I was born, had been a prominent painter. So was my father, Andrew. My two aunts and two of my uncles also earned a living as painters.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All my siblings became artists. One's a novelist, my brother is a painter, my sister was a costume designer.
All my forebears worked for a living. My grandfather painted portraits. My mother too. My aunt painted seascapes.
My father was a professional artist all his life who encouraged my path as an artist.
I set my sights upon becoming the kind of artist who would make a contribution to art history.
All in the Family was intellectual; it was art.
Everyone in my family is an artist. Both my parents are painters and my mom's an opera singer. I was never shown any other way to process life.
My father is a well known artist, Ted Dyer, who has been painting for many years. Our work is very different, but growing up surrounded by paintings, paints, easels and art books does have an effect.
In my previous life, I was an artist. I still paint. I love art.
I have been surrounded by artists and paintings throughout my life. My father Ted Dyer is an artist, and from a very early age I have spent time painting and drawing.
I was exposed to the arts, but there was no one in my family who was an artist.
