About Me


Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis drive me to find some form of entertainment to avert focus from the agonizing pain, so I have forced myself onto the art world. Be afraid. Be very afraid. The sheer volume of my creative madness is a testament to the number of sleepless nights I spend hunched over my tablet PC drawing and designing. Here's a hint: Bad pain causes me to design in Greens, Blues, and Purples. Good days bring out the Reds. I like the red days.

I am a devotee of Lewis Carroll's work, and I strangely found myself fascinated with the Cheshire Cat. I recognized the madness and appreciated the honesty of it. I have also been drawn to Carnevale Masks and Black Cats.
My new mother has told me I am an intuitive Dane, right down to the unique blue of my eyes and my appreciation for mermaids.
I am left-handed, from a family full of left-handed Capricorns. This means you can barely read my writing and I write and talk in a shorthand that drives everyone crazy. I get in trouble a lot because I tell the blunt truth as I am bad at keeping track of my lies.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People coping with chronic pain as I am, and all tortured artists, musicians, writers, etc. We can all gather at the corner cafe, drink our Absinthe and grumble about the state of the world.

My Blog

Eyes without a Face

It's a new work in progress. I took a photo my niece took of her own eye, and I warped out the eyelashes and mirrored the finished work on a simple mannequin form I drew. I wanted to do something with...

Dolphins at Dione

I have had a bit of a dry spell. I was in too much pain to focus on any project. I tried to sleep tonight, but I was in agony. Happily there was a bright spot. I gave up on sleep and actually managed ...

Work and Not Working

It is strange when the pain kicks in. Art and computer work used to be my refuge when I started hurting. What do I do now when the pain keeps me from doing the theraputic things I used to do to cheer ...

Chevy Chase

This whole article made my mouth drop open. My mother used to do the very same that Chevy's mother did to him. It is strange to read somthing like this and have it uncover a buried memory.   Chev...

Knocking

Have you seen the documentary, "Knocking?" It is an eye-opener about Jehovah's Witnesses. By "eye-opener" I do not mean a negative. I walked away deeply impressed by their faith. Not enough to become ...

Carnevale Lover

I had a soft and sweet fantasy image, but it looked so bland, I decided to fill the background with a dynamic black and white checkerboard pattern. My husband is soft on his praises and he f...

Medusa Tears

I always found Medusa to be a sad and pitiful creature. Created to be an instrument of evil, her only positive and beautiful act was the birth of Pegasus from her beheaded torso. So I found a very sim...

Has it been that long?

I have been a frenzied mess. All this rush and need since my last post. Too little sleep and too few dreams. I finally slept yesterday, and I was interrupted by nightmare after nightmare. That was my ...

Wildly Horrible Writing

God, my last post was horrible. So horrible, I haven't wanted to write again. I did have a remarkably cohesive commentary, but lost all the data when I tried to upload it, so in a rush to get the po...
