How I Learned to Love Art

I first discovered I had a love for art in the fifth grade in Guam where I lived and grew up. There was a man named Mr. Card who came into our classroom and gave us art lessons. He brought all the supplies for all 22 kids and volunteered his time. This was especially impactful because I had never even seen real art supplies, much less got to use them. I'll never forget the first lesson he gave us. It was a watercolor painting of a seascape and it was cool!  Mr. Card went on to teach us oil painting and as before he provided all the art supplies. He really inspired me and soon I was spending a lot of time doing art. After school I started drawing superheroes from comic books. Batman was my favorite.

​

I'll never forget Mr. Card and what he did for me. His generosity and kindness changed the course of my life. It's my desire to "pay it forward" and invest in people's lives. and pass on what I've learned over the years. Not just the techniques but also the love of art. Hopefully I can make a positive impact in the lives of our future artists.
