: About Me

Hello and welcome. I'm a mom and at present, reside in Florida. Some of my closest friends joke that suffer from professional ADHD, meaning that at 40 years old I still have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. I possess a BA in Psychology, a BS in Criminal Justice and am currently pursuing a Masters in Education, Exceptional Student Ed.

I have over 19 years experience as a professional artist and have worked in a variety of capacities, mainly in the social services/counseling field. I enjoy sculpting in a variety of mediums (glass, metal, ceramics, mixed media, etc.) as well as drawing, painting and black-and-white film photography. I'm an animal lover, coffee nut, passable cook, pack-rat, penny-pincher and a chatter-box.
