My Bio
Let me start off this bio by saying how much I hate writing bios. :3

There is so much to tell about a person. That's why people fill whole books with that sort of thing. To start off, I guess I'll try and stay with who I am as far as art is concerned, since I doubt you want to know my opinion on Plato versus Hobbes as philosophy goes.

Art, I believe, is nothing more and nothing less than the seizure of an idea and the expression of that idea through one medium or another. Art is subjective and objective all at once. It is that duality, the "push-me pull-you" of art that I truly try to find and appreciate in everything I see. I have something in common with Beatrix Potter in that very often I will see beauty in something before I realize what it is that I am so fascinated with. That said, I find myself interested (sometimes dreadfully) in taking the interest that I find and making it obvious to others.

It is that interest that makes me who I am- as an artist and as a person. I want to do everything by wholes- feet first, deep end.

As far as media goes, I dabble in anything I can get my hands on, but my passions are sewing (costuming and quilts), beadwork (see also sewing), jewelry(Native American beadwork and chainmail) and ceramics(slab, pinch and throwing).

I write more fantasy and fiction than is good for me.

One of the things I have noticed of late is that my art projects tend to go in cycles. I will be all about ceramics then move on to fiber arts before dabbling in jewelry and going back to writing. A wise person once said that a person must find what they love, then find a way to make money doing it. What I love is to create things. Finding a way to make money at this eludes me. I have been told that it is such a pity that the folk art revolution is over. Then I see things like Etsy. It makes me wonder if I can in fact make money doing what brings me joy. I need to seek out art, joy, love and inspiration in my environs.  On to becoming the g
