Do you have Art Influencers in your Family
Do you have art any influences in your family? Asked Professor Staff.
Calista, a new freshman in KCK college began to laugh.
Everyone in my family is a cartoonist or a painter she said.
You get this from your parents? He wondered outside his head.
My mother, my father, and especially Grandma McVey.
Grandma McVey has an art studio; where she sits every day.
She paints with fluorescent acrylic turquoises and pinks.
Her clothes are dotted, speckled and smeared with inks.
Since I was two, I have been a painter, because that is what we do.
I am fond of texture, color, pencils, erasers, and paints of every hue.
The professor said, “I doubt there’s anything I can teach you,
You see, your Grandma McVey was once upon a time my teacher too.”
