"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous." ~ Aristotle

Beatrix Potter & Peter Rabbit

My love of art started at an early age. Hearing stories written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter is one of my fond memories from my childhood.
When I was little, Dad got my siblings and I little boxed sets of her stories at the gas station!  These stories introduced me to watercolors and the imaginative things you could do with art.  Helen Beatrix Potter was born in Kensington, England in the later half of the 19th century. She didn't go to school she was educated by her governesses.   Beatrix and her brother Bertram were naturalist at heart who liked to explore their surroundings, collecting various things from the outdoors to draw and paint.  They had several small pets to draw inspiration from as well, that included: Mice, hedgehog, bats and of course rabbits! Her early years inspired her stories that would ultimately make her famous.  Aside from art she was also a conservationist and prize winning animal breeder. At the age of 47 she married William Heelis, they were happily married for 30 years 'till her death in 1943.
