Interview (transcript)
After the drawing is etched on the stone the color is applied and the image is transferred to the paper. I don’t remember the exacty year I started drawing but I remember I was a young girl when I started. I remember I would draw and re-draw things and as I grew, I became better at it. 
I will give advice to those who ask, but to those who wish to follow, they must ask. I like the drawings, all of them I have no favorites, they are all my favorites.
Being an artist has helped me a lot in raising my own children. It has helped support us. I am happy to see our young artists doing their own art and trying to support their families too this makes me proud.
