How often have you read an interview on a musician who reminisced about early memories of music or who had parents with the desire to tell stories through song? What about star athletes who grew up in stadiums as their fathers ran the field? A cradle may have been a towel under an umbrella on a sandy beach and a nursery may have been enclosed in the towering shelves of the family library.
A young mind is like a thirsty sponge who soaks up the passions of parents and other influential contacts.
What early influences do you remember and how did they mold you?

Growing up I think my mom had the biggest influence on me. She helped mold me into the strong, independent woman I am today. Thanks Mom :)!
When I was young, I used to love to play with items in my moms junk drawers. Especially all the weird plastic doohickies that were ususlly just part of a blender or something. I would arrange them in aestheticly pleasing positions and call my parents in to look at what I made. It was usually an alien city! They would always praise me which may be why I wound up being an artist..or how.
I just showed Dakota this and asked her who it is and she said “Kota touching a bumpy picture at Bryans house! Awww, Mom can we go to Bryans and do art?” Bryan you are definatly an “influential contact” to say the least!
