A little bit
more about me: I
was born in Rhode Island, but left at a young age and so I only remember it
as a place with lots of relatives and really awesome ice cream! I like to
say that I‘ve been drawing and creating ever since I was old enough to pick
up a crayon (one of those big fat ones they gave us to use in kindergarten,
remember?) Its probably true! As a kid, I took a few awards with my artwork,
and sometimes I
even manage to achieve a few cool things now
that I’m a big kid, too! (See below!)
Nobody in my family knows quite where my
love of art came from, but my love of creating
handmade things came from my Grandmother,
who was an amazing quilter, fantastic with
plastic canvas, a super seamstress, and the
person who taught me how to make something from nothing, or take something
old and turn it into something new!
I’m a self-taught artist, but I plan to attend school for formal art training
as soon as I can. When I grow up, I want to be a character designer, that
is, create the characters that get passed on to the next guy to get animated!
I always hope that others enjoy my works of art and craft as much as I enjoy
creating them. I love seeing smiling faces in response to my artistic efforts!
