I STARTED AS AN ARTIST, BECAME A RESTAURANT NIGHT CLUB OWNER, AND CONTINUED WITH ART PROJECTS BOTH IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL PAINTING AND FUNCTIONAL SCULPTURE THAT RELATED TO EVERY DAY LIFE. I HOPE TO END MY LIFE DOING THE SAME. WITH A BIT OF THEORETICAL USING MY IMAGINATION IN AN ABSTRACT IMAGINARY ELEGANT WAY. MY MIND KEPT ME ON THE ROAD USING ONE FORM THAT CREATED MANY. I CARRIED ON THAT CONCEPT WITHIN MY DESIGNS. THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN SO THAT I COULD SHARE WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN, AND HOPEFULLY THEIR CHILDREN, MY VIEWS, IDEAS, THOUGHTS AND BELIEFS, IN THE HOPE THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO OFFER THEIR ORIGINAL CONCEPTS TO THE WORLD WITHOUT RESERVATION. PERHAPS THIS BOOK WILL ALSO INFLUENCE MOTHERS WHOSE JOB IS GUIDING THEIR CHILDREN SO THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AND IMPLEMENT THEIR OWN FEELINGS, POINTS OF VIEWS, THEORIES, AND PHILOSOPHIES.

    What a wonderful gift to come home to. A well packed white box that contained a delightful surprise for me, your book, "I Decided To Be An Artist." The picture on the cover is beautiful. It is a portrait that captured the essence of a woman that danced to her own music. I am enjoying the read. It is a pleasure reading, as I can hear you telling the story. Learning about the world of ART is quite impressive. Thank you for letting me into share your happiness. Love and Admirarion

    Thank you for your awesome, brilliant, beautifully written book. I could not put it down and began reading the book cover to cover. I am so proud of you and all that you accomplished and contributed to each community you lived in. With fond memories of all that we have shared.

    I sat down with your book intending to read it, but I couldn't, because the pictures were so attractive that I had to look at each and everyone first. This took several seatings. Some of the most engaging are the Futuristic City, The Step Up Snake Dance Table, The Snake Mirror, and The Giraffe. When i finished the last picture, I went back and started reading the Preface. I have just begun to know you.

    Dolores, it was so good to be with you and Allegra. I am loving your book. You were always so creative and exciting to work with and the results eye catching, colorful, and functional. you may noot remember, but you also designed our stationery. I could write a book and tite it "I Decided To Be An Accountant", but it would hardly interest anyone. Yours on the other hand is wonderful and a tribute to what you do best....create. Thanks, we are honored to have it. L'Shana Tovah......with love.
