The Brush Hilt 
Your work is stunning! Are you self taught – or are you ‘naturally talented?’

Hi Madelyn…Sometimes I feel like I have that “natural talent” and sometimes I feel it is all because of my professors in college (Thank you Paul Mitchell from Lewis University, Peggy Macnamara and Olivia Petrides from SAIC). I think it is a little of both. I was always drawn (no puns intended, LOL) to the arts and found myself painting or illustrating all the time. I think the talent was always there, I am just grateful that I have had three of the best professors to have helped me focus my craft and teach me how to control and use that craft. I hope that explains it. Thanks for all the compliments too. I’ll show you how I am creating the feathers at our next AAF/Ox-bow meet up. See you then. — Rebe
