QUESTIONS TO ANSWER IN YOUR JOURNAL • What shapes are repeated? • Is there a line of symmetry? • Is there a background? • What colors do you notice? • Is there a lot of space between the shapes or are they crowded? • How are things arranged? Is the arrangement like real life or is it more like a pattern or a design? • Is this image fact or fantasy? • Support your answer. • Does it tell a story (a narrative)? • Can you tell the setting of this artwork? • Who or what are the characters in this artwork? Are they ordinary people and animals? • Where else would we find these characters? • How long do you think it took the artist to create each one?

She said "I had a dream, its voice spoke to me: ‘Why don't you draw or die?' ‘Is that it?,' I said, ‘My, My.'" Her son, George, was in the house and said she came out her bedroom door "screaming and hollering." That morning she completed a pair of small pen-and-ink drawings on paper.
Began to draw and paint at the age of 43 • Used ink, graphite, wax crayon, watercolor and oil on canvas, board and paper • Five years later she decided to really dedicate herself to recording her dreams through art. • Manifested from her imagination and dreams, visions that are transformed to paper and canvas.
