Nancy Spero Becoming an Artist I thought doomed to be an artist growing on because I rather drew over the margins of my textbooks than.. than actually doing the classwork. I was never interested in doing anything else.. ..I hadn't liked highschool, I hadn't liked university.., but I LOVED art school. So that's when I decided to be an artist, just to go at it. But I was kind of worried about being an artist That was.. the only thing I felt I could do was draw and paint and it was the only thing I wanted to do and yet for some strange reason I think I felted it was no use to society
