# About me

From an early age I watched my mother draw when on the phone, so from there I also began doodling endless amounts any time. I did well in school art classes. I also had an interest in couture fashion from my mum's interest. Eventually I took a year of fashion design but did not finish the diploma. From there I gained a few skills in illustration and design. I tend to turn my attentions to varied things in phases and at times I create nothing at all.

I am an art collector, with delight in skewed portraits and architecture. I am an amateur photographer who documents. My focus tends to be on the decay and abandonment, as well as the quirky in urban settings. In my DA you will see mostly collage postcards that I have made for friends, but as at 2011 I have not collaged much this year. Recently I have been spending time filling up sketch journals which I then give away as gifts. I also love to paint my nails.
