    About Me: Hey there! I'm 29 years old, have been married for going on 8 years to a wonderful man, and have the most precious little girl who just turned 2. I have been fortunate to be able to stay home with her the past 2 years and as a result, have been able to start freelancing with my art. I love fantasy art and specialize in soft, semi-realistic, digipainting. I'd love to work more in traditional media, but the tablet is my first love. Right now, I am simply a commission artist, but I do hope to someday start selling prints and other products of my work.

    My website is here:

    TV: Heroes, Lost, The Office, House, Flash Gordon, Avatar the Last Airbender, and shhhh...I'm a sucker for reality TV. Don't tell anyone!
    Books: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak! I like reading Harlan Coben, Iris Johansen, Terry Goodkind, Melanie Rawn, Philippa Gregory, and Jasper Fforde. Into just about any genre and I love mixing the classics in there too.
    Likes: Being outside, fantasy, wikipedia (heh heh), getting to know like-minded and down-to-earth people, baking, spending time with my daughter, laughing, family and good friends
    Dislikes: Overboard emo-ness, dishonesty, rudeness, snobbery, & most vegetables
    Hobbies: Drawing, writing, dancing, singing, playing piano
    Vices: Gummi bears and my sweet tooth in general, can be a little too self-critical, especially when it comes to my work
    Virtues: Loyal, friendly, encouraging, and just in general, I try to be nice to everyone and not let negativity come out of my mouth
    Heroes: God, my mom and dad, my husband, my sister

    WIP!

    Monday, November 12, 2007, 04:20 PM CST [General]

    Am starting a new picture, but I'm planning on doing this one a little differently.  I want to revamp my website - basically just change the CSS graphics since I'm not too too css/html savvy and can't do all that much to it.  But another change I'm going to make is on my commissions info page.  Changing prices a little bit, but also I'd like to have a good example for each type of work I offer.  And I figure a neat way to do that would be to have the same picture all the different ways - as inked lineart, as a graphite piece, as a digipainting, etc.  So that's my big project for the next several months!  Plus, it gives me a good excuse to work on my traditional chops a little more!  

    So I just first of all, need to figure out what to do with that left arm...

    Wow, what a great site!

    I found out about this place over on Deviantart and I must say, what a great spot on the web it is!  I love the fantasy art community and to see so many talented people gathered in one spot is really awesome.  I hope to get to know people here and further immerse myself in the fantasy art community.

    I primarily digipaint, but I'm wanting to dabble more in traditional work (starting with painting some poppies for my guest bathroom!).  I would love to get into the whole ACEO thing.  I keep telling myself I will, but then never make time for it. 

    I'm primarily a commission artist and have had the fortune of having work published in a calendar, on the cover of a novel, and in a computer solitaire card game.  I would love to someday sell prints and other products - just gotta find that awesome printer first, though!

    All in all, art for me is a love of creating and I never want to lose that.  I will always strive to improve, but on my journey, I want to love every step I take and every piece I do, imperfections and all.  

    Anyhow, enough babbling from me tonight!  It's great to be among you guys - I'm sure I'll draw inspiration from each and every one of you.  I hope to do more than that, though.  I hope to make some good friends here too!
