Owls haven't been my favorite thing for very long. I grew up like every other American girl, fantasizing about horses. But around my junior high and high school years that devotion began to lift and I started drawing more things than Arabians and Friesians. Then in my second year of college I took a class called "Color Theory." Our teacher asked us to choose a theme and design our work around that theme so that we would have a unified portfolio by the end of the class. I'm still not sure what made me choose owls but I did and so, in that class, I became known as "The Owl Lady." Then that same semester, I chose to draw an owl-lady for my metamorphosis in my Drawing 2 class, and because I had one friend in both classes, the title was expanded from one class to two. And then I just became engrossed.
Let me just say one thing, however: I loved owls long before the owl craze began.
So now friends and family give me all sorts of owl paraphernalia (ie. necklaces, blankets, cups, towels, books, etc.). And I love every second of it.
