When I graduated High School in 1973, I continued to work at the Public Library of Anniston. It was there that I met an amazing Artist and Teacher. She was and is Marion Freeman. She had reserved the auditorium for a display of her art as well as her students. When I walked in, I was immediately drawn to her work. Marion was amazing. She could perform "magic" with a pallet knife. I could never do anything with it like her.
I told her that I wanted to paint. She invited me to her studio and I began going to her studio in Weaver once a week. She let me explore Art my own way. She would watch, make suggestions, and ask questions. Marion was amazing. She had so much joy and love of Art in her work and in her ways. It is hard for me to explain it.
Years later, even when I no longer went to her house to paint, we always stayed connected. She was a big fan. No matter what I did, she was a fan. I owe my start and love of painting to Marion Freeman.
