“Over the years, she [my mother] always encouraged me in the arts. She actually worked at an art museum when we were kids. I took classes there. She was the one that, when we'd go to the store and I would have a pack of eight pastels, she'd say, "No, get the 24-pack." She was always encouraging me to get the best materials, which was really awesome.” YearsArtKidsMotherClassMaterialsEightStoresMuseumsPacksPastelReally Awesome Author:Jeff Vespa
