How I Became an Artist:

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember -----> My career as an artist started by playing drawing games with my Dad, accidentally stumbling upon graphic design in early high school, and eventually getting my Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design. I can easily lose myself in my art and have burned through entire days without noticing the passing of time! . . . wait, what day is it again?!

Life with Chronic Pain:

Since college ended I have been living with chronic pain, which has recently been diagnosed as fibromyalgia. Basically, that means I'm an annomaly, as all my labs and tests come back completely normal with no explanation as to why I experience daily pain. But with the help of my faith I will learn to deal with this, while still looking for someone who may have more answers.

FUN FACT, I'm a Cat Whisperer:

To lighten the mood a little I thought I'd share this fun fact! I've always been referred to as a cat whisperer and even wrote about in my college entrance essay, lol. My parents say this may have developed because there was always a cat curled up on my Mom's belly while she was pregnant. So I have become one with the cats!! If ever there is a cat that "doesn't like people" or is a "recluse" and/or "mean", I sit myself on the floor and eventually end up with said cat in my arms to the shock and dismay of the owner. Currently, as I type this, there is a cat curled up on my lap. I love cats. Cats are life.
