A little about Me.

I'm currently 26...Though I'm mistakenly pegged for being in the 16-22 age range frequently. I try to always tell people that I'm "rapidly approaching my thirties"; as when in public I tend to be treated like a young teenager until some one figures out that is not the case. (which yes can be a bit maddening at times) I would say looking young runs in my family. My mother just turned 50 and a few years back someone thought she was my older sister. To me age is nothing but a number and I tend to gather friends of all different ages. I like diversity. In many forms.

I also have a twin sister, being petite I also try to tell people I'm half a person... As being under 100lbs really does not help me look my age. HAH! All things I will come to appreciate with time right?

I'm a self taught artist though I did briefly attend an art college in Chicago right out of high school. Which was for fashion design. I currently do not have time to design and make clothes like I use too but I hope to get to that some time in the next 20 years. (laughs)

For now my twin sister and I weekly go to thrift markets and gather up vintage clothing to p arose around in. Gives us good laughs and many more compliments then you would think. We are both into that re use, reduce, recycle mindset.

I do hope in the next year to attend some work shops and art institute gatherings to further widen my inner art circle. As well as meet people who are like minded and think in the same artistic manner as myself. Which would be thinking we are completely calculated in every move when in reality I call myself and my mind a bunny trail. One thing to the next. But honestly I'm very organized....No seriously...I thrive on things being in their place.

As I say this I think I need to go to my studio and clean up a bit...

Cheers ;)
