Somewhere in our teens my friend Judi and I took art classes outside of school. Our eccentric and creative teacher encouraged us to be free, creative and brave with our art. She also had us choose an artist, study their work and learn. There was no internet then, so I wonder at that very young age I discovered and chose Henri Matisse—curious. So began my love of Henri Matisse and of course, The Beatles. As I found myself once again drawing and painting with paper cutouts I thought of my lifelong favorite artist, hauled out all my Matisse books and sketched him. Thank you Henri Matisse for being a part of my creative life...and you also Jude.
