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.

My mom is a painter and photographer and my grandfather was an artist, so I've always been surrounded by creative people.

My father was a professional artist all his life who encouraged my path as an artist.

I grew up with an artist father, and my parents' friends were also mainly artists or writers, so he connects what I do with his example.

I've always surrounded myself with other artists. My close friends, people I've been in relationships with - I went to an arts high school - even my elementary school was arts based.

I was exposed to the arts, but there was no one in my family who was an artist.

In my previous life, I was an artist. I still paint. I love 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.

I grew up with artists.

I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.
