"I have always loved to write and read. Often as a child, I would go around interviewing my family and friends to feature them in the little magazines I would create. When my artwork began to get noticed by different publications, I was asked to write descriptions about my artwork or answer questions about myself. Frequently, I received feedback from the magazines that they really appreciated my well-written responses. It is from these appreciative editors that I received my first professional writing assignments. I was given products to review and eventually asked to interview dancers, musicians, and artists. I've found that painting a portrait with words is just as gratifying as using brushes and paint. I look forward to weaving with words the stories that will strengthen, connect, and inspire people." - Stephanie Bolton
