When Adrienne was around 8 yrs old, her mother gave her a paint by number oil set for Christmas. The artist says, “I remember opening those little plastic containers and seeing those vibrant colors as the aroma of linseed oil wafted out. I think I knew then that I wanted to be an artist. To this day when I walk into my studio and smell that same odor of linseed oil, I am brought back to my childhood and those memories.”
