ROCKFORD, Mich. â Art has always had a special place in Chris Waleskowski s life; but it wasn t until she retired that she was truly able to indulge her creative side. I ve enjoyed doing things, crafty things. I was always doodling, if I was working at a desk or on a phone call, she told FOX 17 News. I kept saying I m a nurse, I m not an artist, but if you want to create, you create. You get an enthusiam in you when you start doing it.
