Interview - Page 1

Were you drawn to each other by your mutual interest in art or wildlife?
Rachelle's mother actually introduced us because she knew I was into Art and Rachelle had just recently signed up for art classes in college.

Wes, where did you study art?I had some terrific art instruction in high school that "hooked me".  I studied art at Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri.  I started as a biblical studies major and art minor but found art to be my calling and ended up majoring in both Graphics and Fine Arts. (I hold a BA in each) 

Rachelle, I read that Wes taught you how to paint - were you interested in art before you met him? Yes

Would you have become an artist anyway?
Most likely a commercial artist.  Wes worked as a freelance illustrator/ designer while we were dating and that helped convince me to pursue the fine art instead of commercial.
