Art has been a true love in my life since I was a child. I began seriously drawing portraits from photos when I was in high school—and I did take elective classes when I was in high school. There were early rewards: I won blue ribbons and people occasionally paid me to do art for them now and then.

In spite of earning a living and getting a lot of attention as a journalist - positions included being a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, love of art continued. At one point, I enrolled in California College of Arts and Crafts and became even more obsessed with drawing and painting.
