I was exposed to the arts, but there was no one in my family who was an artist.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wasn't born an artist. I was really good in science as a kid. I probably shouldn't have been an artist because I'm much more interested in science. But I was raised by artists. I can't really escape it.
I come from a family of business people, but I had the idea I wanted to become an artist.
I grew up with artists.
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.
All my siblings became artists. One's a novelist, my brother is a painter, my sister was a costume designer.
My mother encouraged me to be artistic. It was written in a contract at an early age that I would be an artist.
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 parents always saw me as an artist, and that greatly influenced me.
My mother was a high school arts teacher, so I was always surrounded by the arts.
I was raised to be some kind of artist.
