ARTSPAN Spotlight with David Francis 110
When did you realize you loved art and wanted to be an artist
It sounds cliché, but it seems like I have always loved to draw. One
of my earliest memories is waiting for my father to finish the Sunday
newspaper, so that I could sit down and start copying the funnies.
VL/AOT Studio Visit with Alejandro Castanon 126
I never intended to be a professional artist. Like many artists, I drew
constantly throughout my childhood. Although my lack of formal art
education has not been a hindrance for me, had I known I’d become a
professional artist someday I probably would have chosen
to focus on art in school.
VL Artspan Photographer Suzanne Steveson 146
Art has always been a large part of my life, drawing, painting, mixed
media; the need to create is ever present in my daily life. Photography
came to me later in life; the gift of a camera and macro lens
opened an entire new way to create and expand my artistic creativity.
The camera gave me the opportunity to see all of the incredible
beauty that surrounds me every day.
