Terry Lynn Shotton - Artist Statement




I first knew that I loved to draw at 9 when my mother gave my sister and I pencils and several large pads of white paper to draw on.   She wanted to keep us occupied on our long driving vacation from Perrysburg, Ohio to Pikes Peak, Colorado.   By the time we stopped at our first motel, the back of the ‘56 Plymouth wagon was covered almost up to my sisters and my waist with paper.....mostly of horse drawings.   For me, that was the best part of our vacation.   I thank my mother for recognizing and encouraging the artist in me.
