About Me

Since I'm actually using this now, I guess I can't procrastinate any longer by not filling out this little box. I'm an artist and a writer. I do independent curating on the side as well as jewelry design. Everyday I wake up with the sense that there is so much that I can do. It's a bittersweet feeling, because I know that ultimately I can only do a fraction of that which I "could do," but I am satisfied knowing that I tie my shoes and try my best.Visit my blog: http://andrew-thornton.blogspot.com/
