When did you first realize you were an artists or had artistic talent?

Do you have Parents, brothers sisters? A little family history?

Oh my glob! I didn’t realize anything - I’m too busy drawing! It’s possible that my talent is on it’s way - but it will take a lot more work for it to get to me.

I have both Parents and a younger brother. The female part of the family is artistic and little crazy, the male part is more down to earth - so when I need some precise help I call my Dad and when I need to cry over my shoulder - I call my Mom. And I’m in love with my nephew - he loves to draw - mostly mushrooms which btw is really narrow specialisation but I believe in him. We also have one old dog, one old cat, we used to have 3 horses, 2 goats, 1 pig and goose.

Did you have encouragement to pursue your dream of being an artist ? or did it just happen over time? Both! I had encouragement from my parents, now from my husby Tomek Karelus and being an artist and calling myself one - that happened over time. I’m never happy enough with what I do and that’s what keeps pushing me forward.
