mall it was three rabbits sitting up very straight because the contest was based on the
theme about correct posture) well as my fifth grade teacher Mrs. McDonald who allowed
me to paint backdrops for small The first person to recognize my art and give me my
first solo show which really led to a big break, that person is Judi at Bernards a gallery
