Vivian Prince was the only child of a shepherdess and a traveling evangelist. Having severe dyslexia before anyone knew what the word meant, she was mistakenly judged retarded. Her parents decided to educate her themselves and took her on the road. Visiting historical sights, museums, and numerous scientific exhibits, she was encouraged to draw what she had learned each day. To this day she is never without a pencil and paper. She learned to read at the age of 22 and went on to a career in photography. She also writes and edits stories for the Candlewood Clarion (an independent newspaper) and is working on her first novel... just for fun. Now retired and living in California, Vivian still loves to travel with her husband John. You can email Vivian at prncjohn@aol.com.
