A picture is worth a thousand words, and 14 year old artist Sevy Marie Eicher speaks to people all over the world through her art work. Sevy was born with Down Syndrome in Sofia, Bulgaria. Although Bulgaria is a part of the EU, they are still ranked number two in the world for child institutions, right after Russia. She now lives in Texas with her adoptive mother, father, and three siblings.
As students across the country have gotten back into the swing of things, some still await their first day. One of the things kids always look forward to is meeting their new teachers, especially the art teachers. They are usually always overly excited, sometimes a bit quirky. This was always fun and comical for me. As they'd attempt to get the class settled down, they would start class like:
“Welcome back to school everybody, I hope everyone had a great summer. Hurry up and have a seat so we can get started on today's featured artist, Roger Jardine. Not to be confused with the business mogul, whom happens to share the same name. We're going to talk about Roger Jardine the artist and photographer.”
