Who is that dangerously unbalanced woman?

About Me


I'm an artist working towards my BFA degree in Printmaking, Metalsmithing and Painting. When I'm not in class, I'm working as a graphic designer at Door of Hope Church or working on my photography business, Red Shutter Studios (www.myspace.com/redshutterstudios).
I am also co-running ASA Gallery of Faith (an unusual art gallery) with my fellow artist/friend Takenya Rosetta. Check us out each first friday of the month at Mocha Dan's Cafe on 2nd Ave in the Co-op building in Downtown Fairbanks. (www.myspace.com/asagallery)
Other then that, I'm a coffee addict and collector of old cameras and other WWII era things. I play guitar and I've started to learn the mandolin. Traveling is a passion of mine--my last trip was to Scotland, London, Paris and Italy. I hope to buy a motercycle this summer but I probably wont have the money *sniff*. I plan to graduate this December and eventually, take over the world...:)
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Here is an example of some of my photography work...*for more, check out www.myspace.com/redshutterstudios
and here is a slideshow of some of my artwork *the ones they say "print" are the photographs that I used to make the prints--not the actual prints...:)
