Travel...
I once believed I
would never leave
Wisconsin, I would
never move from the
small town I was
raised.

Even if only in your own backyard.

Life imitates ART,
Or Inspires it?
Think BIG and put those
Ideas into reality.

No matter how many

coats of paint it takes to
cover it up!

As a student I always wondered what it was like to
be a “real” artist. It’s taken me a long time to
realize I was an artist when I was a student. You
never arrive, you already are!
