About Me

I like to draw.
You can look at my art here .
Sometimes I write about things I enjoy at Cardboard Sea .

I love Jesus. Music is a constant in my life, I have quite an affection for it. Fish and all other forms of aquatic life make me happy, especially whales. I like growing plants, living in the city, and finding treasures at the thrift store. I wish I had the time to read more books. I also wish I could finish a book before I started another two. Most of the time winter is my favorite season, but I don't like when I unknowingly step in a puddle of slush. I like to bake cookies and then eat too many of them. I appreciate the little things.

My Blog

beggars and choosers.

I walked to Coventry today after I got home from work. I had to get an enormously big paper portfolio to put some drawings in that I still hadn't brought home from the studio. I also had a longing des...

spring-a-ling.

spring fling.

It seems that every winter, whenever we get the slightest bit of rise in the temperature, I prematurely get carried away with thoughts of spring. I like spring for a number of reasons. It's so fresh a...
