Thinking back through our lives, we all have those people whom we can point to and say, “That person believed in me. That person saw my potential and encouraged me to pursue it.” My high school drawing teacher was one of those people.  

After teaching me art several years in a row in the classroom, I had the privilege of studying under her for private art lessons. I watched my skill go from raw to refined. I owe much of how I draw to her—her skill, and her kindness to believe in me over the years.
