Since I had created art largely for my own satisfaction during my pioneer days, I was surprised when in the late 1970 ’ s, I was granted an artist’s pension.
Kuna pioneeriaastail valmistasin kujukesi peaasjalikult vaid enda jaoks, olin üpris üllatunud, kui 1970 - ndate lõpul mulle kunstnikupension määrati.
