@Kelly_McKernan and drive to learn and train her eyes to draw/paint, that she wound up being one of their best students 3 years later. I don't think it is genetics. Its all about willpower and desire. And you know what? Its perfectly okay not to want to be able to make art. Just be honest 🤪

@Kelly_McKernan When I took a semester at SARA down in the south of Sweden the headmaster told me a story in her office one day. One of the best 3rd year students could BARELY draw when they accepted her into the school. This was a young woman in her 20s. But she had so much passion (p1)

Surrounded by boxes and bubblewrap - would love to send this girl off to a new home instead of storage! Thinking a moving discount for a new owner? 😉😁
