My mother encouraged me to be artistic. It was written in a contract at an early age that I would be an artist.

My mother was a high school arts teacher, so I was always surrounded by the arts.

My mother was always encouraging about my wanting to be an artist.

I went to art school when I was little.

When I was in high school, I thought I might be an artist. I was very good at drawing and painting.

My own interest in art was because of my mother. My father didn't like contemporary art, so he didn't give her large sums to spend. So, she began buying prints and drawings. During my school days, I remember sitting in on many of the early meetings.

My mother was the most creative, fantastic person and would come up with great things for us to do. She'd buy art supplies and all of us would sit around painting. I was lucky.

I love art. My sister is an artist and my mother is a painter, so it is very much in the family. I haven't ever wanted to be a fine artist myself - my sister robbed me of my artistic talent, I think.

I went to art school, I think it helped me a great deal because it taught me who I am.

Everyone in my family has some kind of artistic tendency. My great grandmother was a jewelry designer, and her daughter was a ceramic tile muralist.
