My whole life has been in technology and engineering. I am getting into retirement, or semi-retirement. Always have dreams of being able to draw and paint. Kind of believing in traditional way to learn the basics (or selectively learn the basics) in order to obtain the knowledge and skills to that I can further explore what I can express in different forms (other than technology).Taking drawing lessons from Drawing Academy more than a year ago. Pretty slow paced since I am still working part-time. Felt good about the class and hope the Art Academy can provide the similar. …

I have loved art since I was a small child. I was widowed with two small children at a young age (22) which forced me into the corporate world to support my family. Art became a hobby when I had time and attention to devote here and there. I am now retired and my kids are grown and I am trying to start the career I always dreamed of, to become an artist that can make a living on my art. …

Basically a self taught artist. I’ve been drawing since grade school. I even entered a few school art competitions, usually came in second or third.
I also drew some characters for my sister’s d&d game and a local band. After High School joined the Army Reserves as an Illustrator, ended up in a unit that even though had a few illustrator slots, they didn’t have a need for illustrations.
That was that for a while until about 15 years ago when I saw a picture of a kabuki dancer in the entertainment center of a local newspaper, grabbed a cheap wood board and bought some acrylic paints and painted it. …

When young I was a very good drawer and painted in oils but never understood or was taught any techniques.
I would always copy works of art never able to create on my own. Lover of history and art, over the year I’ve lost a lot of my talent and am considering try this again one last time !

As many of us, I was fascinated with drawing and painting since I was a child. Life did not allow me to get involved in art until later in my life.
A tragic event helped me to realize that some things should not be postponed, I started painting.
At the beginning, I was feeling like a person not able to speak. I wanted to say something, but was not able to do it. Slowly, my skills developed allowing me to say more. I feel that I need to walk several more steps to develop my art to the level I need to start talking. …

I have done quite a few still life but really want to put people in my
painting. I love still life but want to do portraits as well as people
as we see them in life and to convey that to the observer.
I love to paint and paint all of the time. I try to work very hard but
seem to be at a stand still right now as how to make my paintings
better. …

I am a pediatric dentist with passion for art, started drawing and painting as relax experiment when my husband was diagnosed with cancer.
I noticed that I was good, I love people and my portraiture was getting attention, without asking I got some commissions. I am getting better, a bit more satisfied with what I am making. Have more time to study since I retired to take care of husband and visit grandchildren.
