# About me
Color has always been ever present in my life. I remember taking an art class in middle school and loved it. I first explored design with photo manipulation. In 2002, I began designing website layouts for a sailor moon fan fiction website. Sailor Jupiter was my favorite soldier. I loved her because she was a Sagittarius, just like me, and she was awesome! :DAfter I closed the website, I dabbled more into photo manipulation and I began to love blending colors and patterns. I started creating my abstract drawings in Paintshop Pro. It was challenging but I loved how my designs looked with the drawings.
About a year ago, I started creating my drawings strictly from Microsoft Excel. It really gives me more freedom to go crazy with my drawings. I can create more detailed abstract drawings in that program and it's a lot easier than Paintshop Pro. I've been working with Paintshop Pro since 2005 and I love that program dearly. I won't use another program to create my abstract art.
As of September 2012, I made a bold leap in blending oil pastels with my digital artwork. I think my work has gone in a exciting yet very challenging direction. I am loving it so far.
I am obsessed with color. I feel like it's my purpose to explore color depth and patterns. My obsession derives from my fascination with Nature. Nature is the ultimate abstract artist. Nature expresses unique artwork 24/7/365 and I'm constantly in awe of her beauty. I hope to get to a point where I can live and breathe color.

Very nice colourful gallery! How did you make those social media buttons? They're really cool, and I'd love to add some to my page.

I would use the buttons, but wouldnt they send my viewers to your page? Also they are really cool and colourful, just not my art style.

oh I understand, I know my art style is not everyone's cup of tea. Regarding the images, all you have to do is save them to your hard drive and use a website that can host your images and go from there.

I really like your art style though. ^^
