“I did not give drawing or painting a thought until I was in my 60s. One afternoon, bored with reading, I casually leafed through a book on painting and was captivated. I began to take lessons and discovered a new avocation as an artist. That came in tandem with a fresh calling to be a mentor to younger leaders, an artist of the soul.”
