A plein air painting workshop in Brownsville, Nebraska, October 2009, led to her first art gallery sale, of a landscape painting she had done iin the open air.
I have been doing art as long as I can remember. My parents say I was drawing almost before I could walk. As a homeschooler, I was a finalist for a one-time Lincoln Public Schools art fellowship program for children. I sold my first picture when I was a sophomore in high school, had my first magazine sale as a junior, and my first art gallery sale last summer.
I love the arts – literature, music, movies – but especially the visual arts. I expect I will be doing art for as long as I live. I want to go to a college that treasures the arts.
