I remember the exact way my teacher looked at me and told me that I was a good artist. I felt so noticed and excited and I really believed in my heart that I was amazing because she said so. That was in first grade. The same year, I drew the first picture you see.
Mrs. Jefferis gave me a vision for my potential. I have since improved a bit.
The second picture is my most recent creation, a charcoal drawing I did of a friendβs wife.
I share this to say:
1. Words of encouragement matter - you could say something that sticks with someone for years or even a lifetime.
2. I love creating and getting to see a finished product and I am excited to continue growing.
