My grandmother has quite a strong presence in my place,
she carved these frames, chair & cupboard, I guess before
the first world war. I think then it was fine to be 'accomplished'
but you'd have to be really driven to be an artist. Our mother
(her daughter) also had a real skill, & then 4 children came.
Lower right is an image I made of her ~ before we happened.
How fortunate, to be free to do what we love!
