Hi, I'm Holley Williamson and I'm kind of nervous about just introducing myself. I don't know why. I really like to take it all in first I guess. This place is amazing. The classes are so eye opening. I have a BA in Art, not a BFA because I did not emphasize in anything because I started having kids and I just wanted to graduate. But I missed out on so many classes. I would have liked to emphasize in Illustration, but only took a few classes specific to illustration. They told me I wouldn't graduate with a good portfolio and I didn't. I always felt like drawing from real life or photographs was fairly easy, but drawing from my head was so hard. These classes are bridging that gap and I'm so amazed! I'm so excited to understand why a painting is bothering me. I hate to finish something and feel so dissatisfied and not know why.

Anyway I have 5 kids, ranging from 13 to 6 months old. I love being a mom, but if I don't get a little art in each day, or at least a couple times a week I start to go crazy. I'm a stay at home mom, would love to be a work at mom doing art. I love children's books. Some art that I see is so beautiful it almost hurts, I want to be able to create art like that.

I look forward to getting to know you guys better!
