Filomena Irving was last year’s “Winner’s Choice”. She is a retired middle school science and health teacher and currently a full-time artist and creator of a wearable art line. Website: artbyfilomena.com
She was blessed in childhood to have a mom who fostered creativity in her, and always provided the materials, time and space to do so. Her love of all things art led her to take a leap of faith and start painting at the age of 55 with no formal instruction or training. She knew it was in her and has never looked back. She tries to create something every day even if it is only for 20 minutes. Although she is a retired school teacher, she continues to teach both herself and others how to paint. She loves to spend time with my wonderful family, travel, garden, run, practice yoga and cook!
