Sculptures are drawings you fall over in the dark-- Al Hirschfeld

About Me


My name is Jenn (usually go by Jdub or Wheeler)...I attend Chico State full time going after a BA in Art Studio (a split emphasis in drawing and sculpture), with a minor in Art History. After Chico State I plan on heading over to Butte to get an AS in Natural Resources/Parks and Recreation...this way I can become a Ranger AND be an artist!!! I also work full time at Target as the Electronic's Specialist (only gal in my department!!) and love my job. I have what some might call a little zoo, but what I call my adopted babies: Neko (my small tabby cat), Heathe (my Russian tortoise), and my 2 Siamese fish (Kumo and Zeus)...
Art has now become a very LARGE part of my life, considering it is my newly claimed major. Because of this, part of my myspace will be to show off my artwork to my friends and anyone else wanting to take a look. Main drawings and sculptures that I am proud of will be posted in the actual picture section. Blogs will be posted of projects done in my art courses (and will be labeled as such). Feel free to comment and let me know what you think about my stuff!!
The plan has been set you guys...I have finally found the semester that I shall be graduating (finally I know lol). Fall 08 I will officially be done with school, after switching majors half way through. I do not plan to walk until Spring 09 though...During that time in between, I plan on going to Europe for 2 or 3 weeks to travel around and see the master works of my idols, and to walk on the same ground my ancestors did (Italy)!! Here's a list of all the places so far that I have decided to see (feel free to email me ideas):
*Italy- VENICE, Milan, Bologna, FLORENCE, ROME, Naples, Palermo
-ART MUSEUMS
-all of the master pieces not in a museum
*France- PARIS, Lille, Strasbourg, Nantes, Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse
-prehistoric caves
-Celtic monoliths
-Roman ruins
-medieval fortresses and Renaissance castles
-art museums
*Germany- Asterdam
*Greece- Thessaloniki, ATHENS, Rhodes
-Parthenon and ALL of the Greek ruins
-art museums
Right now these are just the basics, as I decide on more I will add them
