The Artist recalls ” My natural ability allowed me to see at an early age that I was pretty good. My surroundings inspire me most of all. I was about 7 years old when I really began to sit down and draw a lot. Then at bout 15 years of age , I began to take my talent seriously.”
Herbin has been seen painting live downtown in Greensboro, NC.
