| Your Personal Biography |
A BFA in fine arts & art history, I knew I was born to be an artist. I've been painting and creating since I was 3 years old, painting with my mom on old pieces of drift wood we found on the beach. With many things under my belt, I still consider myself a starving artist. A few of these things are creating and designing an entire privately owned tanning salon in Galveston Tx, advertising and marketing designer for several local establishments, and my swing dance team and I were selected to performed in Australia for the closing ceremony of the 2000 Olympics (not really art related but I think it's cool!). Now, my focuses are environmental and animal related. Volunteering at the local animal shelter, I saw the worst of the worst that humans have done to animals. I've been supporting animal rights for 2 decades, an in that time I also became a vegetarian, after seeing a Humane Society film on Animal Testing and the conditions in the US slaughter houses. I decided then and there that I needed to be the voice for the furry (and not so furry)... and that's what I do. 20% of all animal related sales are donated to the Humane Society.
