About Me

I am a woman who is getting to know herself. I have suffered through trials, grown despite my doubt, and realized the importance of relying on God. I know what I believe, but I still respect others' opinions. To each their own.

My passion is art. I draw, paint and mainly deal with graphic art and design. My trade is a way to express myself, which is quite important to me.

I am enthralled with fashion as an art form.

Someday I will be going to Japan. I have been interested in the people and their culture for several years, and I plan to work there in the future.

I like coffeehouses, chai tea, tattoos, piercings, reading, and debating.

Photography is an amazing art. It's like recanting a vivid story through frozen images. It can tell of a lost world, a ragged emotion, or a personal story. I love colors, shapes, and angles. Photos are expression.

If you're going to add me, send me a message first. I most likely will only add people I know or have met in person...thanks!
