I have had an interest in art since childhood. I loved to draw as a child and still do.

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.

I was a visual artist primarily and a writer, even from a very young age.

I've been drawing since I was about 3 and I come from a family of artists.

Photography started as a means of getting reference material for my paintings of nature subjects.

I was three years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life.

Growing up, I enjoyed drawing, but it was always in the service of an idea. I drew all the time, and I enjoyed making.

I've been taking art lessons since I was little, and I've always drawn. I think in pictures.

Drawing was a cheap way for me to express myself. It gave a focus to my thinking and my life from a very early age.
