Being put in the lower-level reading group in first grade was easy to discover as I quickly noticed that almost every kid in my cohort was either extremely "slow" or speaking Spanish as his/her first language. Needless to say, I didn't feel very good about myself. But my second-grade teacher, Mrs. Bradbury, complimented me on my artwork and made me feel like I had a talent. Not only did that self confidence boost dramatically ratchet up my academic trajectory, but it also spurred a lifelong hobby of artwork. I'll never forget the lesson that wonderful woman taught me during such formative years. Well, the intricacies and communication of the human face have always intrigued me so I've tried to capture some of that in my work. Here are a few of my pieces:
