About Me

I am an artist and art student, and though I tire of classes and homework, I will never tire of art. I want to illustrate children's books, and make little kids smile when they read them. I want to become their favorite book, the one they wear out the pages in because they read it so many times. I like to laugh a lot, and laugh very easily. I laugh at stupid things, and sometimes it takes me forever to stop! :-) I like food, both to cook, or help my boyfriend cook cuz he's better at it than me, and eat. I like to drink wine and have deep conversations :-). I like to read and write, reading helps me relax and writing helps me let out my tension. I write blogs to share my thoughts. I'm a quiet person, who has trouble speaking up, so it is easier to share this way... I love my boyfriend and my friends because they understand me and care about me, and take me as I am. I am beginning to take pride in myself and what I do, but I still find insecurity creeping in at times. Please take a look at my art if you wish, in my pictures section, I do appreciate constructive criticism or praise :-)
