Debtfair

Mine has not been an orthodox path in becoming an artist. My debts came from studying--I began studying art at California State University Hayward (now East Bay), where I got a B.A. in Art History; and then got an MFA in Drawing and Painting from CCA (California College of the Arts, formerly CCAC). I studied Political Science and a History minor at the University of Liberia, up to the 4th year level, and was already doing a proposal for my final thesis, when civil unrest began on the campus of the University of Liberia, where I was studying. Eventually the whole nation fell into political turbulence--ending any hope of following my father footsteps, by entering the Foreign Service. So I decided to pursue my first passion, art, to my father's dismay. Before he passed away, he asked me if I had never heard of the proverbial starving artist?
