About Me

Animus sextam non habet.

We make our destinies by our choice of Gods. -Virgil

Well... I mostly sit in my studio and sketch/ research/ paint/ sew/ etc. I love walking, but it is currently too hot in Austin to avoid frying to the pavement. I'm a friendly person, but the activities that I persue are mainly solo endeavors or include one other person. I love traveling and am going to Oregon and Washington DC this summer (to visit the Smithsonian). Hmmm... I like tea and I make some mean vegan sushi. Well that went well...

"How will you die?" From my friend, Jer.

Burned at the stake for witchcraft.
Traditional. Warm. Atmospheric.You should take comfort in the fact that your death will be the social event of the season, and a good time will be had by all. . . well, except you, of course!

...It figures. Thanks, Jer.
You are a gargoyle. You are powerful and tough. You
can turn into stone to fool your foes and you
are often used to guard places such as
Cathedrals and Parliment buildings. You keep
out evil with your strength, though you tend to
be alone. Not many people take the time to get
to know you, and they fear your prescence. You
are often seen as respectable and courageous.
People rely on you to protect them and you are
feared and respected by many.
Which Mystical creature are you bound to?

And the white knight? Vanquished. Gargoyle 1, White Knights 0.
Your Inner Child Is Surprised
You see many things through the eyes of a child.
Meaning, you're rarely cynical or jaded.
You cherish all of the details in life.
Easily fascinated, you enjoy experiencing new things. How Is Your Inner Child? Which Tarot Card Are You?
You are the Hermit card. The Hermit has chosen a solitary spiritual path. He shines light on his inner self and, by this means, gains wisdom. The Hermit's home is the natural world and it is by being in tune with that world that he learns the laws of nature and learn how they operate within himself. His path is a lonely one as he lives in silence and has for companionship only his own internal rhythms. But those crossing his path are touched by his light and wisdom. Though often alone, he manages nevertheless to instruct those who meet him and guides those who chose to follow him on a path towards enlightenment.

the genius as a masterpiece

Unschooled artists are a bitter bunch. They like to complain and bemoan all sorts of imagined causes which keep their art from selling. One of the greatest complaints, predictably, is: "How can that p...

oh yeah, I'm a woman...

It always comes as a shock when someone makes mention that I am a woman. I see the curves in the mirror, the size D rack, the oval face, but I've always felt as if my body was something put upon me......
