I wanted to be a painter.

When I left school, I wanted to be an artist, specifically a painter.

I always wanted to be a painter. I loved painting. I went on three different art courses but had no talent whatsoever.

I wanted to be a painter, really, when I was growing up as a kid. It was one thing that really took a grip on me.

I love painting. I went to college in fine arts, and I still do it all the time.

When I was growing up, I wanted to be a house painter like my father, but I was always screwing up when I went to work with him. I had a talent for knocking over paint and painting myself into corners. I also realized fairly quickly that painting bored me.

I went to art high school and thought I'd be a painter. Unfortunately I didn't finish high school, but that's always been part of my work.

I started painting when I was in high school.

I wanted to be a painter when I was a kid. And then, I had to make a living. I had a child when I was in high school, so I kind of had that work phase in my life.

I grew up wanting only to be an illustrator. I studied art at Laurel School in Cleveland and at Smith College.
