The Paint Slinger AKA Kim Mauney

About Me

I am a very open minded, carefree, feel things deep in my heart and soul kind of gal. I enjoy being silly and living life to the fullest. I have a job in the art materials industry. I love it. I am surrounded daily by creativity and the stuff it takes to make art. My job also gives me the luxury of traveling not just in my territory, but on occasion to different cities outside of the Carolinas. It also offers me the best perk of all--meeting some really interesting, wonderful people. I am a painter and drawer. CHECK OUT MY ART POSTED ON PICS PAGE!!!! I am always reaching for my goal, never giving up until I get there. What is my goal, you may ask. To be successful, not just financially, but also in all other areas of my life. And, I think I am doing a pretty damn good job at. I am a single mother raising a son with no help from anyone, and you won't hear me ask for help. I believe that once you fly from that nest, you do whatever it takes to see that you and your family are secure. I love music and anything related to the arts. I keep the core of who I am to myself. There are very few people on this planet who know that core. Far too many people take friendship for granted. And, far too many people do not understand the meaning of unconditional love. Therefore, I only trust my core to those I know value these things. I am continuously evolving as I journey through my life. I AM me. Peace, Love and Rock & Roll!
