VL <strong>Art</strong>ist Interview with Elizabeth Chapman<br />

What jobs have you done other than being an artist<br />

I was a stay at home mom to three children and a High School <strong>Art</strong> teacher. All other jobs were for short periods<br />

of time.<br />

Do you have a passion or hobby other than painting<br />

My grandmother taught me how to sew when I was in the 6th grade. I loved fabric stores for all the colors and<br />

making my own clothes. I still find sewing to be relaxing. I also love cooking and gardening. Love playing<br />

with our grand daughter and not a hobby, but enjoy walking.<br />

Who would you love to portray in Mixed Media or in paint<br />

I would probably answer that us our grand daughter. <strong>No</strong>t that it would be realistic, but it would show all the joy<br />

that there is in those child like qualities that we tend to lose as we settle into the rules of life.<br />

If you were an animal what would you be and why<br />

I've always loved watching the hippos at the zoo, probably because I love the water. As a kid, I lived in Venezuela<br />

where the weather permitted swimming all year long. My family teased me that I was going to turn into<br />

a fish. Another animal would be a dog, as we have two that are very well taken care of.<br />

If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live<br />

I don't know why, but I've always thought the Mediterranean area.<br />

Share something with us that few people know about you.<br />

Well. I can tell when i'm getting into a painting, as i've got this thing about having to kick my shoes off. I guess<br />

it's a feeling of not being restrained. I also love to dance while painting, but never do that with an audience.<br />

Name something you love and why.<br />

I love spending time with our grand daughter. It is such a joy and it is my hope that we will have had a positive<br />

influence in her life.<br />

What is one thing you would like to be remembered for<br />

Kindness.<br />
