Let's just say that I inherited *none* of her artistic ability.
I agree there is sometimes and inherited component to artistic ability. But I firmly believe that *everyone* can learn to draw. Everyone. If we lived closer together (hell I could do it from here, but closer would be easier), I would show you if you were willing. All you really need is the desire to draw and a few basic tools. Sometimes all it takes is showing someone that they can improve to give them the impetus to keep going. And practice, as they say, makes perfect...
However, it may just be your fate that you write. Writing is a manifestation of artistic ability that is no less valid than fine art.
I concur with what a lot of folks here say, I would love to meet your mum someday. Maybe during one of those fishing trips we're going to do eh?
