Personal

About Me:
I enjoy a wide range of medias and subjects. Most recently I have been obsessed with Oriental inspired designs. However, a couple of months ago I painted an entire sushi rest. and I think that might have sucked most of that out of my system. Pictures will follow of all those murals shortly.I seem to be drawn to a lot of decorative design, murals small and large, painted furniture. boxes. jewelry chests, and occasionally clothing. I would really like to learn more about graphic design, and computer related arts , so if anyone has any advice to doll out , I would be more than happy to listen. I am recently married to my favorite person in the world . He is an electrician by trade and an amazing muscian in heart and soul. He is a vocalist,guitarist,drummer and plays in a band . Which amazes me since I can't carry a proper tune in a bucket. I look forward to interacting more with the individuals on Artbistro . It's great to get some feedback on my work from someone impartial. Besides, for me it is sort of like an everchanging gallery exhibition I don't have to leave the house for.
