I always receive sort of a kick out of people who have never seen this art form on full display. Their first reaction is disbelief and it sometimes takes some tall convincing. They often times think they are viewing actual photographs ... depending upon the particular work being viewed."

Ann Kullberg's Colored Pencil magazine and website | But the whole story began much, much earlier. When I was 4, my mother wrote a letter to my grandmother, saying, "Ann is always drawing, drawing. That will be her special talent." When we found that letter in the 90's, you can imagine how surprised we all were at Mom's insight! Thus began Ann Kullberg's Colored Pencil Magazine!
