I could never really call myself an artist until I could paint like Michelangelo

Artwork by Maruishka

Painting for the DIVINE!
When I was 4 years old, I use to draw duckies for all the neighborhood children. But I told myself my whole life, I could never really call myself an artist until I could paint like Michelangelo . His paintings were the first I had seen, I believe it was in church, in books. My heart soared! I knew from that moment, oil painting was my life long calling, a student for life.
I am a perfectionist.

My artistic challenges……getting out of my own way.
The Old Masters Academy……just what all aspiring artists need! Excellent teachers and programs.

My need for winning the course? Funds, of course. Starving artist….that’s me.
People should vote for what inspires them. When they see or hear something they believe in.

“I saw the angel in the marble, and I carved until I set him free.”
A quote from Michaelangalo.

I believe God put this in my heart….and I hope to some day see Him and He will say, “Well done my child.”
