Out of curiosity: what specifically leads you to make this claim? I don't necessarily doubt the claim, but your story up to this point could describe any budding artist trying to get recognized, as only a tiny of fraction of them do.
- aspenmayer 1y agoIt’s not a story. It’s my mom’s life. If she’d been a man, I wouldn’t be here telling you about it. My mom was not successful as an artist, she just liked making art. She wanted to go to art school but got pregnant and was pretty much asked/forced to drop out of high school a month before graduating. The content of the art perhaps brought out the crazy people? Her art depicted her alien abduction experiences, and the guy she had to ward off intimated that he was some kind of g-man but who can say?
