Wade can't remember a time when art wasn't a part of her life, even when she was a little girl watching TV.But as she grew up, she set aside pencils and picked up paint brushes. It was something she loved to do with her dad, the accomplished painter, muralist and educator Eugene Eda Wade. "I wanted to use something that dad and I had created together," she said."I took the boy and I digitized it. I drew over the whole entire thing and I added other elements my dad would have in his work. We took the background and made a mug. The boy ended up on the tote bag.
