I live to create.

About Me

I'm not goth, I'm not industrial, I'm just myself. I love the music but it does not define me as a person. I don't get hung up on the ego and image of it all. I have never fit in and am not about to try now. I stick out like a sore thumb wherever I go and I love it. I'm shy, but outgoing at the same time. I'm modest, but an exhibitionist. I'm not afraid to be the center of attention on the dance floor, but can't stand being the center of attention in a conversation. I will hide and try to be in the spotlight at the same time. I love to get dirty and messy doing art, paint and charcoal and clay everywhere, but am a clean freak. I'm a starving artist earning her BFA in Graphic Design at night while working full time.

Open and raw, you would let your true self show for your portrait.
