Guest Blogger: The Art Dream

The First Guest Blogger At The Artist’s House!!! I am so excited to introduce a young and brilliantly talented artist named Mary Frances Vega. This young woman is full of so much creativity and talent! And she also has such a sweet personality with a wonderful sense of humor that I just love!!!

Well, here are a few questions I got to ask her before her big move to the Ohio area. And I’ve also included some photos of her work, which are whimsical and bright- just like her. Okay, I have to admit, this beautiful young lady is my oldest daughter. But she is all of the words described above and more. Stop by and visit her Etsy Shop!

1.             Tell us a bit about yourself.

 I’m a world famous artist. In my world. With a small slice of cake.

Work. Eat. Creating things takes up a lot of my time. Not that I’m complaining. 

3.             What first made you want to become an artist?

 I’m not sure. It’s just something that I started doing. Maybe I picked it up from my amazingly artistic mother? (: 

4.             Please describe your creative process.

 It’s complicated. 

5.             Name your top five books, movies, musicians, and websites.
