I have been married since 1966 and have 3 grown children and 4 grandchildren.
 I've lived in Western New York all my life.  Art was never a subject I enjoyed in
 school (someone told me I must have had a bad teacher)!  I've always loved
 crafting, but stayed away from painting until a friend convinced me - you can paint. 
 I gave it a try with her about 5 years ago, and I haven't put down a paint brush
 since that day!  I have been teaching acrylic decorative painting in the area.

 Recently, through the Buffalo Snowbirds Chapter of SDP,  I heard about Mary
 Owens.  I looked at her website, and lo and behold - she was having a certification
 in Buffalo!  I signed up, fell in love with it and became a CMOT.  People who
 haven't seen this technique are in awe when they see my samples.  I tell them it is so
 do-able.  Now its my turn to say -     YES, YOU CAN PAINT!
