When did you know you wanted to become an artist?

I always would draw and my favorite game was building fantasy structures that my dolls and cat would live in.  I would play for hours with bricks and stack them to create imaginary buildings, strangely, not so different to what I do now as a practicing artist. Art was the thing I was the best at.  It has always made me feel centered and comforted in difficult times.

Did you go to school for art? Did you teach yourself?

I was very fortunate, at around eleven years old a neighbor in Lewes, England, suggested I go to Saturday morning art classes…which where in Brighton College of Art, some 20 miles from where I lived…The classes where held in a former school, and housed the graduate painting department of the collage and this Saturday morning art class. So from an early age I was around the smell of oil paint, large cold and mysterious spaces, and the energy that is part of art school.  At high school I was fortunate to have six-art faculty on three campuses of Priory school, in Lewes. In England the teaching of the arts is a vital part of the fabric of education, and I was lucky to go to museums and galleries at an early age.

When did you make your first scrapbook? Was it love at first glue?

I made my first scrapbook during the summer I was 14. Honestly, it was just OK, because I didn’t have any fun stuff to add—but I did draw pictures! I made my first “creative” scrapbook page about my oldest son, when he was a baby and YES, It was love at first glue. I kept the page on my bedroom dresser for at least a week and would look at it several times a day. I felt like the mother ship had called me home!

When did you first know you wanted to help people manage their money?

I’m not sure I ever realized that. I just wanted to do what made me happy. What felt good to me.  What gave me energy when I did it.
