High school painting of four faces surrounded by colorful flowers by Erica Haupert

High school..

We are moving so I’ve been packing for days and during my cathartic purging of all things unwanted, I found my high school art portfolio. It made me so happy to see my work after so many years. I clearly had a love for Carol Alt haha! and I loved drawing supermodels from magazine ads. Growing up in Texas, I entered the Rodeo Art contest every year and these are two of my high school entries. As I embark upon this creative journey, I realize now that I was always an artist and now that I am doing it professionally I know I am living my bliss.. finally! It took a very long time for me to own it but now that I have I am truly grateful for all of the life experiences that got me to this place. I wasn’t ready before so to anyone out there who thinks you’re too old to take a chance and do what makes you happy professionally, I will happily be your example.
