Artist Interview

The artist interview was my Aunt Nancy Clavier. I asked her what type of artist she would consider herself and she said it depended on the day. If she was working on her dolls or painting for pleasure she was a folk artist, but if she was teaching her elementary school students or painting for someone else she would say a fine artist. She told me the reason for teaching art was to help children be creative early. She says the older they get the harder it is to do. The meaning behind her work is to help children to express themselves through their art and be proud of what ever they create
