From Kristen... The beginning story: “It all started with a pencil...” As destiny would have it, I was sitting at my desk in 6th grade, bored out of my mind in history class, when I ventured into sketching out new logos for Buick and Pontiac, driving me to create my own personal logo by combining the initials of my name. Thus came the answer to that well worn and familiar question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” When I was young, nothing was more delightful than when my grandmother, whom I called Gam, would come and visit each weekend. She would engage me in playing games with pencil and paper. These drawing games were fun and had an air of mystery and discovery about them. When the weekend was over she’d return to William-Smith College where she was an instructor.
So, here’s to you, Gam. In your honor, I raise my pencil high! For THIS, I thank you.

Decades later, 2 years after Gam had passed away, I
was doing an exercise in a Life Drawing class when I became aware I had
done this same exercise before. To my utter astonishment and near
inability to speak, I realized that my grandmother, an instructor of
drawing and painting, had been teaching me college level drawing
exercises when I was 10 years old! I had no idea what she was up
to—until that moment.
