I’m 31 years old, and have a cat & 2 dogs and 12+ hermit crabs. I live with my super-wonderful boyfriend, who gives me all the support I could ever want or even think to ask for.
I like to think of myself as somewhat a jack of all trades, because I can’t say that I primarily focus on just one thing. I like to dabble in many things and willing to switch mediums after just one project, just so I can learn something new.
In the spring of 2007 I participated in the Periodic Table Printmaking Project, wherein “Ninety-seven printmakers of all experience levels, have joined together to produce 118 prints in any medium; woodcut, linocut, monotype, etching, lithograph, silkscreen, or any combination. The end result is a periodic table of elements intended to promote both science and the arts.”
