I have never called myself an artist. Usually, I just say I’m someone who loves art. And that’s true, I do love looking at art, but I also love making it. I don’t remember a sliver of my childhood when I wasn’t drawing with Crayola markers or painting with watercolors. My life as a youngster was constantly consumed by art, and I really loved every second of it. I grew up in a household that embraced creativity, so no matter how terrible my kindergarten drawings...

He was not the candidate, unfortunately, and by the time Biden was inaugurated, climate groups had brought that down to $10 Trillion. President Joe Biden compromised and asked for $6 Trillion. Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who is allegedly a Democrat, asked for $4 Trillion in spending.
At the start of high school, I dressed in baggy clothes and clunky boots. My head was shaved. If it weren’t for my short stature, I might’ve easily been mistaken for a boy.
