# About me

I've always made art. Once I feel I've mastered my current career in Education (and my students have all grown up and FOIP is no longer my concern) I intend to put on a hell of a Social Commentary-based Drawing show!

I hold degrees in both Fine Arts and Education. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and skills in the arts. I am a supporter of artistic collaboration and am in search of a collaborative partner from whom I can learn new skills and with whom I can share the ideas, knowledge, and skills that I possess.

I once enjoyed participating in interactive theater and LRPGs(and other escapist activities) prior to becoming a responsible adult beneath the weight of time constraints. Now, I'd rather photograph or choreograph these events.

I am slightly crazy about art that involves any of the following: stylized imagery derived from nature, symbolism, assemblage,collage, paper sculpture, pop-up books, abstracted landscapes, "outsider" art, clay sculpture, graphic design, surreal photography, storytelling,and constructive criticism.

I indulge in fantasy literature and am moved by stories featuring the life struggles of at-risk youth.

I wish I was "with it" enough to rememeber all the band names, song titles, and lyrics that I enjoy. I wish I was technologically saavy. Then, I would relish adding new media to my creative tool-box AND I would NOT struggle with adding a "deviation" to this &*^%*!# deviantID!

Current Residence: Alberta, Canada
Favourite genre of music: It changes according to mood, season,time of day, and activity.
Favourite photographer: too hard to choose.. I love the Film Noir style, gothic, theatrical images, and macrobiotic images
Favourite style of art: too hard to choose...tends toward the decorative and organic
Favourite cartoon character: Ruby Gloom
Personal Quote: Please! I am just NOT that consistent!
