The R.J. Grey Artist of the Month for January is...

Theresa Nintzel

What is the first artwork you remember making that you were REALLY proud of?

When I was little, I drew a smiley face on one of my parent’s walls in crayon. At the time, I was really proud of myself because it was the first time that I was ever able to include the person’s eyes inside its head. Even my parents, who were rather upset at the whole situation, couldn’t help but be a bit proud of me because I was able to do that. Even though I feel a bit bad about doing that now, I think that that was the moment when I knew that I liked creating artwork.
