A little something about me...

Hello and welcome!   Here are my official stats: I was born in Canada but raised in Latin America.  My parents eventually settled in Texas where I homeschooled through high-school.  I moved to Florida for college and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Animation from Full Sail University and worked as a texture artist/worldbuilder on MMO video games for 5 years, mostly in California.  Needing a change of scenery, I headed back home to Texas to slow down and pursue my own art.  I currently work in the financial industry, and am enjoying the energy it leaves for creativity.

Now to the actual important stuff.  These are a few of my favorite things...
- reflected/refracted light
- my parents
- foodie adventures
-antiquing & thrifting
- games in various forms: card, board, d&d, and video games.
- traveling & road trips
- costumes & cosplay
- libraries & books
- hair braids
- the smell of ginger & cloves
- candid photos
- an herb garden that is as useful as it is beautiful
- goats, cats, unicorns & vampires
- hanging plants
- the fact that C.S. Lewis and Tolkien were good friends
- health, wellness, and eating whole foods....even if I still get the odd junk food cravings (I'm looking at you, Zebra Cakes)
- when long grass looks like waves due to the wind
- frankincense & rosemary
- tea at least twice a day
- my sisters
- maple syrup & coffee
- sweater & candles
- Frank & Virgil, my two citrus trees that have thrived despite my numb thumb!
- Jesus, because He IS.
