Drawing was my gateway drug into creating. It came naturally to me at a very young age and was fostered, to a degree, by my grade school art teachers. I never seriously considered being an "artist" until High School, but was pushed away from it by my father, who thought I "should get a real degree". That said, the yearning to create was indulged by a career in architecture, and my love for drawing has never waned... There just isn't enough time for it all!
