"The more I learn in MathArt™, the more I realize the infinite number of ways math can be used. I have absolutely despised math since I was old enough to add and subtract; therefore, math has always been a cold, empty, meaningless subject to me. My hatred of math stemmed mostly from a learning disability called dyscalculia, which interferes with awareness of concepts such as numerical values, memorization of facts, measurements, ability to tell time, and distinction between left and right.

Once I began thinking of math as the key to imagination, rather than the locked door that blocked creativity, I noticed a change in my art. My drawings no longer looked stiff and emotionless. My people seemed to be alive on the paper, smiling at me in their cartoonish way."
