If you haven't ventured over to my profile info yet, in a nutshell, I'm a stay at home mom and housewife, with a background in art and graphic design. I also happen to work from home as a part-time internet analyst.
My background in art goes way way back to high school, where I was in Honors Art with one of the best teachers ever. He saw that I had a special knack for pencil drawings, with an eye for detail and intricate shade work, and instead of lumping me in with the other students who were ...well, basically still finger painting, he helped me hone my skills and got me involved in special projects in school rather than having me do the normal assignments that involved paints and clay. I still learned how to do those things, but he allowed me extra time to work on the special projects. In 11th grade I signed up for Graphic Design Honors and since my school was set up so that the last class was a two hour block rather than the normal hour, I got to spend 3 hours of my day working on art projects for the school and some of my artwork (as far as I know) is still hanging in the library and main office 15 years later. My senior year I was awarded "Most Artistic" superlative, and "Graphic Design Student of the Year." I was also in the top 10 by GPA out of a class of almost 300. I spent 2 years in community college studying digital effects and animation technology. After a short hiatus I transferred to a 4 year school and majored in game design.I never got that degree because the school I went to was in a long list of shady schools that manipulated school loans and are now facing class action law suits.
Life plays tricks on us and I never got the opportunity to work in the game industry, but I did freelance for almost 15 years working on portraits and product labels, book covers, illustrations, CD covers, etc etc.
Life plays further tricks and I was married and that didn't work out for complicated and lengthy reasons that I won't delve into, and I spent a good 5 years being a total f@#&-up before I settled down and found the love of my life who accepted me for who and what I am, failures and all, despite his ability to see that I value the same things in him too. Maybe he'll read this and go "oh...you love me flaws and all too? Cool..." **smile**
Against all odds, we procreated and in late 2014 our daughter was born, completely bright eyed and healthy.
So now I spend my days with our daughter, much of my time on the internet, either working, gaming, writing, or researching science, because science is awesome.
The end.
