Latoya Lovely works in Special Education for Portland Public School District, she is also a dance instructor. She has
been drawing ever since she was a kid- when her heart would skip a beat to find a clean, blank space on the back
of her school work, even if it meant being reprimanded because she wasn't actually doing her school work. As an
adult she began with small paintings, then scaled down to greeting cards because she would get frustrated not
seeing the end in sight. Isn't it funny how we try to control the wild horses of our gifts when we're afraid of the
unknown. Friends encouraged her to create bigger pieces as they stated her cards were mini
masterpieces. So she was brave, and she listened. Her dream house will have a bay window for her and her baby
boy to curl up in and read whilst listening to the rain.
