In her own words:
“You’ll probably be happiest doing what you loved to do when you were 5.” As a kid, I’d spend my play time in the sand box, making castles and little environments for my toys. I played with dolls sometimes but I actually prefered the Tonka trucks, action figures, hand tools and power tools. All of that would come in handy later in life. I’ve been sculpting, drawing and painting for as long as I can remember in one way or another. That’s where my oxygen comes from. Thanks mom.
