DOWN THE STREET: CHILDHOOD PASSIONS PAY OFF FOR COUPLE
2006
Overview
Children can follow their passions by gravitating toward hobbies that they enjoy. When they get older, they prepare for the \"real world\" and often lose sight of those passions to follow a career that will offer financial stability. Some people, though, decide to take a risk and find the courage to follow their childhood dreams. The Haskells - William, 43, and Amber, 38 - did just that. For William Haskell, this meant painting, observing landscapes and preserving history through his style of art, which he defines as architectural landscapes. Amber was able to channel her passion for people, marketing and psychology into a medium that connected all three aspects: real estate. The Haskells spent their married life in Minnesota, where they had family, friends and their respective careers. Haskell worked in the print industry and Amber spent her days in the nonprofit sector working to pass cutting-edge laws on domestic violence and abuse. William found his work in marketing and sales interesting. He began to think, though, that something was missing. Although he painted in his free time, it wasn't enough to quench his thirst to observe the world. As a child, Haskell moved often with his parents. Born in Wisconsin, he moved to Oregon, Alabama, Louisiana and Ohio with his father's sales job before the family resettled in Wisconsin. In each place, his parents made a point of taking William and his brother to historical sites. Thus began his love of history, landscape and architecture. At the age of 5, Haskell took his first painting class. He was the youngest and found this intimidating and never felt that his work was good enough. After all, he was comparing his art to that of much more experienced artists. This only made Haskell want to work harder to perfect his skill. As he got older, Haskell drew every day after school. At 11, he discovered watercolors. Five years later, Haskell was selected to serve as a student apprentice to wildlife artist Terrill Knack. It was during this period that he began to develop the tightly controlled dry-brush style that distinguishes his work.
