Meet Greta
I learned to paint , because I was encouraged to try. One day while I was visiting my friends grandmother in Franklin North Carolina. I was given a brush and some paint and directed to an old door and left alone. After some hours she looked at my work and said “ You are a painter”
I now paint everyday and live in the Fox Valley of Northern Illinois with my family.
