I have often had people say, "It must be nice to be so gifted". And to this, I always have a little laugh. Yes, talent is nice, but it won't get you very far unless you develop your skills. I discovered early on in life, that I didn't really see something, until I drew it. The more I sketched and painted, the more I became aware of the world around me. I found that even the simple things in life took on a new importance and beauty. So what exactly is the 'gift?' "It is the ability to see and appreciate the beauty that exists.
