There are some experiences in my life that I will always remember. One of them is the time my mom and I took a trip to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi to meet an artist named Alice Moseley.

Miss Alice, as the locals called her, became a nationally known folk artist after she began painting in her early sixties. She first picked up a paint brush as a way to cope with the slow loss of her mother to Alzheimer's Disease. Miss Alice never had formal training as an artist. She only followed the guidance of her heart.
