Learn to See Like an Artist The First and Most Important Lesson Before you put pen, pencil, or brush to any canvas (or stylus to tablet), you must first learn to see like an artist. For this first and very crucial lesson, I’m doing a repost of How Artists See. Yes, artists see things differently […]
I Wish I Could Draw! There’s No Reason Why You Can’t Oh, if only I were paid a dollar for every time I heard someone say, “I wish I could draw” I’d be a millionaire by now! But seriously, if you want to draw, then draw! There’s no reason why you can’t. I can guess […]
So You Think You Can’t Draw… What if I Told You That You Were Wrong? Most people, if asked, would say they can’t draw. Are you one of them? Can’t draw even a simple stick figure, you say? You wouldn’t be alone in that belief. But what if I told you that belief was a […]

Myra and I have been friends for 25 years. Over the years, I have watched her art progress from fantastic to simply spectacular. I’ve seen her work in multiple mediums and I have to say that her work in pencil is probably my favorite.

I’ve commissioned two pieces from her to hang in the lobby of the building where I work. Each piece was completed flawlessly and within the time frame given. I love Myra’s art so much I wish she’d pick up a tattoo gun and put some on me, permanently.
