In a summer session at the San Antonio Art Institute(now gone) Alonso Davis challenged me. Do you want to think of yourself as an artist, or a housewife? Made me mad, so I painted Dogs of Hell. After he set us up to paint a mural (on a barber shop wall) I designed, helped paint, and finished the 10’x20′ mural, that stayed there for ten years. I chose artist. Thanks, Alonso Davis, west coast muralist.
