I like 2-D multi-media/collage. I'm currently teaching myself Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop- I think it might just change my life and how I create! Screen printing and block printing are current interests I'm playing with. I've been playing around with sewing/embroidery, but I don't feel I've made it my own yet. ACEO/ATC are a new interest. I'm also playing with watercolor pencils with ink drawing- I like the portability of this medium. I like painting and drawing, though my drawing skills are a work in progress.

I love to laugh, have a sarcastic sense of humor at times, and am drawn to people with wicked/sharp sense of humor. My favorite comic strips are (were) The Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes (I'm a teacher and a mom, so I can appreciate Calvin!) I love to try new things, whether it's food or a craft technique. I've never been formally diagnosed with ADD, but my mind constantly races from one thing to the next, so I don't know if I just have too many interests or need Ritalin! I love to dance and sing, although I don't know that I do either one particularly well. I take that back. I got some soul in me, but there's a good chance I'm tone deaf. Love the coast, which is why I moved to Florida (I grew up in Kansas). My favorite color is blue, I hate pink and think glitter is never a good idea.
