Since
childhood, I’ve admired my sister Ruth’s incredible gift for drawing. While she
graduated high school in 1975 and I followed in 1979, I still vividly remember
"sneaking" looks through her art school book, completely awestruck by
her skill. As someone who can’t even draw a straight stick figure, her natural
ability seemed like magic to me.
We always believed Ruth inherited this talent from our Grandpa "Gus" Bensman,
who was gifted at drawing animals. Now, that legacy continues with my niece, Abby. Having inherited a
"double dose" of talent from both the Bensman side and her mother,
Barb, Abby is already a blossoming artist at just 11 years old.
This past summer, I helped Abby launch her own blog to showcase her
work. She is currently taking after-school art classes and will be updating her
gallery regularly with new pieces. I encourage you to bookmark her site and
follow along with her progress!
