Jupiterelijah: I grew up in Hell. By the Grace of God, my DNA was altered artistically while growing up in that place . In many ways I remain grateful for this traumatic home life because I learned lifelong valuable lessons. I learned patience, tolerance, a sense of humor, understanding and wisdom. I learned Printmaking from Mr. Alan Larkin at Indiana University South Bend. Alan was always patient and kind. He taught me how to believe in myself and to believe in my artwork, no matter what. I love printmaking. I was honored to have my artwork published in the Ernestine Raclin School of Fine Arts magazine, The Aspire, in 2014 and 2015. This is a yearly publication. I will always be grateful for every opportunity to share my artwork because it is God’s gift to me.
