My sisters were going out with artists and poets, and eventually it was the creative world which attracted me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up with artists.
I was always artistic - right from childhood - but my love of painting came a bit later. It followed my love of music.
Having artist parents, they knew the importance of exposing me and my sister to all types of music and art and making art part of our every day. it was just always there.
I have always had tremendous respect for my sister as an artist, as a woman, and now as a mother.
A lot of artists fell in love with me over the years.
Up until the last minute, it was art and drawing for me. That was the first real and natural thing I thought I was good at and loved to do. But I developed a similar kind of love for music.
My mom is a painter and photographer and my grandfather was an artist, so I've always been surrounded by creative people.
I've always been really artistic. I went to an all-girls' private Catholic school, and one of their biggest things was musical theater. I became obsessed with that.
My parents always saw me as an artist, and that greatly influenced me.
All my siblings became artists. One's a novelist, my brother is a painter, my sister was a costume designer.
