This week for theAA Dozen feature, we touch base withAKathleen Letts, Aa very talented artist from Chicago.AHow did you get your start in the visual arts? It all started with mud pies…my earliest memories are of making little pots from the mud in a wooded clearing near our house in rural Kansas. AI must have been 4 or 5. ALater I branched out to figures that I made out of cloth and wood scraps from my mother's sewing basket and my father's wood shop, which I sold to family and friends. AI remember that my most expensive art work at the time was priced at $ .50. AMom thought it was a little overpriced! I think that artists are born, not made, and the most critical component of the artistic temperament is the patience -or the compulsion-to work a piece through to completion.
