I think that it is interesting that she said Maggie Walker in particular helped prepare her for success at VCU. She talked about how even in the competitive environment that she knew that she should do art because it made her happy as opposed to doing something more traditional, in her case veterinary school. She also talked about forcing herself to do work by signing up for a show or something, the theme of 'deadlines are your friend'!!

I was surprised what she said about using art as a means to make things greater than yourself.

He found a style that he liked and was passionate about and stuck with it thru high school and college. He talks about falling in love with the artistic process and then sense of detachment that he feel when he is outdoors painting. He goes through phases where he paints more and less, art can be exaushting! 

He uses an underpainting!
