Sunnyshore Studio: Tell us some things about yourself.
Willow: I love gymnastics. I can feel freedom out there. I get to run around, learn skills and do tricks. My favorite skill is the round off back handspring back handspring on the floor.
I go to school at Utsalady elementary. My favorite class is recess. No, I’m kidding. I like reading and writing and art. I Love to color, to sing and listen to music. I love drawing animals and people. And I love food.
Sunnyshore Studio: What music do you like?
Willow: Any music really. Well, I don’t really like rock. I don’t like classical music. I mostly listen to floor routine music.
Sunnyshore Studio: Who are your parents?
Willow: My dad is Jed Dorsey. He is an artist. My mom, Renae, helps him. Mom loves to doodle. And she loves dark chocolate
Sunnyshore Studio: What has it been like growing up in a family of artists?
Willow: Proud. Everyone I know in our family is very, very artistic. They are great at painting. I’m not that good at painting but I’m good at drawing. And gymnastics.
Sunnyshore Studio: Your Dad is always making videos for Acrylic University. Do you ever go on live?
Willow:Yes, I bring our cat Silver in and say “hi” and stuff like that.
Sunnyshore Studio: You are going to have some art in the upcoming Studio Tour show. Are you excited about that?
Willow: It’s not going to be my drawings that I show, it’s going to be my paintings. Some will be framed. And all of them will be for sale.
Sunnyshore Studio: Have you ever sold a painting before?
Willow: Yes, I have. I actually won a kid’s art competition. We were driving across the country, from Indiana to Washington, and we stopped in a town and I entered a kids art contest. And I won some paint brushes and colored pencils.
Sunnyshore Studio: Are you excited about being in the show?
Willow:Yes, it will be very fun. All my family will be there and get to see my art.
Sunnyshore Studio: What do you want people to know about you?
Willow: That I’m nine. I love art and animals and flowers and food. And mostly gymnastics.
