About Me

I live in Albany, NY with my wonderful boyfriend Shawn and our pup Abby. I am the department manager of flooring at Home Depot, but am an artist at heart. I attended Hartwick College as a studio art/ art history double major with a concentration in sculpture & drawing, and 20th century art history. I grew up in Connecticut, which is where my parents live. My younger sister goes to college in Poughkeepsie, NY and my older brother lives in Florida with his girlfriend. Some day when I'm rich we're all going to live in a cottage together and raise puppies, and I'll be a famous artist. If you're funny, interesting, bizarre, intellectual, or just plain cool- I probably want to be your friend. :)
