Artist - SUZANNE C. GIBSON

I was recently asked by some young students, where I got my start in art... Where did it all begin? For that, I had to think a little... and then it became rather easy to explain. I have always enjoyed color, coloring, crayons, drawing, and from a very young age remember drawing and painting in the kitchen when my mum was cooking or doing whatever it is mum does when a child is drawing.  I distinctly remember putting my paintbrush into a glass of Orange Juice instead of the water beaker because I was using Orange Paint and they both looked the same.  I must have been about 5 years old.   I have recollections of bright and colorful things as a child, which undoubtedly have influenced me.  My parents taking me places, encouraging my creativity, and always singing, and dancing, and just enjoying art and my surroundings.
