EVERY CHILD IS AN ARTIST.  THE PROBLEM IS HOW TO REMAIN AN ARTIST ONCE HE GROWS UP. ~ PABLO PICASSO

I REMEMBER IN PRESCHOOL WE MADE A LIFE SIZE CHALK DRAWING OF OUR BODY.  I HAD SO MUCH FUN DESIGNING MY OUTFIT, ADDING MY FACIAL FEATURES ~ I LOVED THAT PROJECT.  AS I GREW OLDER, I ALWAYS ENJOYED DRAWING.  I WOULD SPEND HOURS MAKING PICTURES OF MY BEDROOM OR A NEW FLOORPLAN FOR OUR HOUSE.  MY MOM WAS ALWAYS SUPPORTIVE BUT HESITANT TO TEAR DOWN WALLS JUST YET.  IN COLLEGE I TOOK A COURSE IN ITALIAN ARCHITECTURE IN TUSCANY.  WE WOULD SIT IN THE WARM SUN AND SKETCH THE FACADES OF DUOMOS.  I LOVED THE DETAIL INVOLVED IN EACH WINDOW AND DOORWAY.  YEARS LATER, I SPENT NIGHTS WORKING ON FRIEND'S WEDDING INVITATIONS OR PAINTING A NURSERY TO WELCOME A NEW BABY.

AFTER YEARS OF NEVER USING MY CREATIVITY FOR "REAL WORK"...THIS IS MY ATTEMPT TO DO JUST THAT.  WITH THE SUPPORT OF MY HUSBAND, FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND A GREAT LOCAL PRINTER...LOCKETT LADY DESIGNS WAS BORN.  MY GOAL IS TO CREATE PRODUCTS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND INSPIRED DESIGN.
