Linda Ellen Price An event in my life as a fifth grader, almost made me abandon art forever. My teacher had me destroy my Christmas project due to it being crudely original as compared to the other children's commercially made, beautiful displays. I decided I would be a nurse. After becoming a nurse, I enrolled in an art class to satisfy an old longing. My instructor viewed my work and said: "You've painted before". That was quite a surprise. I had never held a brush in my hand before that day. those words inspired me to learn all I could about my new found joy: painting. After winning first place in a juried art competition I decided to try workshops. The real turning point was studies with Russian artist, Max Heldman. I think Max was born to teach. Every day of his instruction was an exciting experience. He became very interested in my drawing and painting and encouraged me to make art my life's work. I never looked back. Life as an artist became an adventure. |
