The first real time I have a memory of making a painting was when I was 9 or 10, using a combination of house paint, tempera, watercolors, and pencil…basically anything I could get my hands on in the garage.

However, my mom just gave me a box of old papers she saved from when I was a kid, and it turns out I started my artistic journey much much younger.   Below are three self portraits – the first of which was done when I was FOUR (and 1 month, thanks to my mom’s note keeping)

As you can see I wasn’t really big on accurate representation at the time…
