Art is sanctifying. It is taking me to my purpose of existence, the realization of self. When I work, a healing impact occurs in all aspects of my life. Bla, bla, bla…

I won a school art contest when I was in the third grade. Sister Roderick informed the whole class that she thought I should give my medal to Johnny Osterman because his picture was much better than mine. Screw Johnny Osterman. Sister Roderick also wouldn’t let me stand up for the spelling bee, because she said I was the first one down any way. Screw Sister Roderick.

When I was growing up no one had a learning disability. You were just stupid or not. I was just considered stupid. I was put in special ED class, because I couldn‘t read and I had a hard time listening to boring teachers. I’d hear people say, “good, thing she’s a pretty girl…” Later I realized that they were referring to the notion that I’d find a husband that would be able to take care of dumb ol’ me.

Once I tried to take art lessons, but I got a D in the class. Many years later I tried again to take lessons from this guy who was on his last leg, but I quit after he said in a very stern voice. “That looks nothing like a mallard!” “A mallard?” I asked back. “That’s no mallard, that’s Sister Roderick!”
