Unbroken Painting

La Marr was born in Columbus, Ohio and raised in the countryside nearby. She has a long history of relatives with artistic talent, her Great Grandfather was a professional artist. From her earliest memory she loved to draw and portray the beauty she saw all around. As a child La Marr dreamed and longed for a career in art but sadly, was discouraged to pursue art as a career. So La Marr went to college and graduated with a bachelor's degree in nursing which became her career but her passion was art. She took as many art classes as she could squeeze in during her college years. She later attended Marylhurst College in Portland, Oregon to obtain a degree in Fine Arts. Over the years La Marr has spent many hours pursuing as many forms, mediums and techniques as possible and has taken numerable classes. As a result La Marr has learned to do china painting, acrylics, fabric painting, soft and hard sculpture, colored pencil, needlework, quilling, stenciling and painting ceramics. She loves to develop new techniques and is working on digital art as well. Now that La Marr's career in nursing has come to an end she is able to devote most of her time to her second career, art. Her focus and goal for the coming year is on painting and in particular the challenges of pastels.
