I'm a country girl at heart who cannot say no to the city. My imagination thinks I live in many states, countries and environments. Quiet peaceful nature; the beach, or any place with flowing water is ultimately my comfort zone.

My involvement with the Burning Man community seems to be reviving my artistic nature, spirit, and ability to socialize. Through these gatherings I observe an amazing new world of humans out there with like-mind. I so enjoy making new friends. My long-standing, close friends of the "default world" are awesome, and have remained stellar support and inspiration. I am so blessed with friends and am so grateful.

Then there are those times I prefer the company of animals to people, and prefer quiet nature to socializing. I'm very moody and can revert to a very reclusive state that some people (who don't know me well) may find strange or offensive. I suppose this is due to my upbringing or inherited from various family members. That mode can also be translated into a highly creative state when I make time to do so.

Visual art is in my blood and I am broadening my perspective. Though born with a natural talent for drawing, painting and crafts, I recognized at an early age that graphic art would be the best vehicle for me to making a living. I taught myself... and so did the experiences I put myself through. I did that even before the computer, but a few sweet and incredible left/right brained geeks taught me (the MAC) and sent me cruising along my digital path.

I plan to explore new ways of expressing my computer talent, along with getting back to my "roots" in fine art with a fresh new eye.

My lust for life is very high, and the wild roller coaster journey of it seems never-ending. I'll stick to that ride for as long as I'm able!
