Life-Changing Event

"I didn't quite know, but I know I had an inspiration that came over me in 1976 when I was sitting in my little silver Honda car. I thought, I think I'd like to be in glitter, no, in art and business, I'd like to meld those two because I was a financial rep at the time, but really my entire background was art. I'd been drawing, making things in all different medias since I was a little kid. In 1976, that's a long time ago, I had a friend who said, Barb, why don't you help me design this booth? That was just one thing, and then she got me a job with a graphic design studio in Detroit. It was just one thing happening and pulling me toward it."
