Ned young artist biography

At the age of 5 or 6, Ned was introduced to the first how-to-draw television program hosted by Jon Gnagy.  “During one episode,” Ned recalls, “Mr. Gnagy drew a circle and then turned that circle into a three-dimensional sphere while explaining light source, shading and shadows.  I was so amazed that I could hardly breathe and my little head nearly exploded thinking of all the possibilities - Having the knowledge to create the illusion of mass on a sheet of paper, hit me like a lightning bolt - Learning to tie your own shoes and mastering the ability to stay upright on a two-wheeler, were of course pretty cool, but this was pure magic. I didn’t know it at the time, but because of that very simple lesson taught by an artist that I would never meet, I had been steered in the direction the rest of my life would take."

Tons of crayons, pencils, watercolors and reams of paper later, it came time for Ned to choose a profession.  His knowing parents helped him make the deci Ned young artist cats.
