Athena di Properzio, age 8, featured in the Ashland Daily Tidings.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

My daughter, Athena di Properzio, was featured in the Ashland Daily Tidings<\/em> last week.<\/p>\n

The article was written by Angela Decker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Athena could write her name before she turned two (I have proof), and she has always loved to draw.<\/p>\n

Her drawings are surprisingly well executed.<\/p>\n

She’s only 8 years old but she understands perspective and depth and how to fill negative space.<\/p>\n

She won a contest at Ashland’s local brewery, Standing Stone, and we got a gift certificate that helped pay for part of dinner there.<\/p>\n

Athena was so proud. And it was fun to go out to eat<\/a>, something we rarely do.<\/p>\n

The first few paragraphs from the article about Athena di Properzio read as follows:<\/p>\n

Athena di Properzio is a joyful artist. The sunny 8-year-old gets a kick out of drawing, painting and being outdoors. She’s already won prizes for her work and is spending time this summer drawing, knitting, and occasionally illustrating a story she wrote for her siblings.<\/p>\n

Her teachers at the Siskiyou School are struck by the delight she takes in both her work and play.<\/p>\n

“Athena is absolutely radiant,” said instructor Christine Crawley. “She approaches all life with a heartfelt glee. This shows in her artwork, which comes straight from her heart.”<\/p>\n

Cynthia Bower, di Properzio’s handwork teacher agrees: “Athena is an absolute treasure. The bright colors she chooses when she knits reflect her cheerful personality,” she said.<\/p>\n

Athena is also a big nature lover. “She’s our nature girl,” said di Properzio’s mother, Jennifer Margulis<\/a>. “When she was younger, she used to tell us she wanted to go outside and taste the world.”<\/p>\n
