Just for Fun,
11 facts about me
that just might show up
in my artwork
***
I am happiest in the woods with a backpack on my back.
In high school my dream was to be a park ranger living in a fire tower.
Three degrees later (Geography, Agricultural Economics, and Adult Education)
I now dream of being an artist in a fire tower.
I worked my way through college in a pet store
and lived in a small room in a co-op with
2 parakeets, a cockatiel, a quail, an iguana, tropical fish, and silky mice.
My animals were vegetarians like me until my lizard broke every bone in his body jumping off my dresser.
Thank heavens I learned this lesson before having kids.
I eat a piece of dark chocolate almost every day at 10am.
I started running when I was 12 and never stopped.
People think I’m athletic because I can run in a straight line. I’ve been cut from every sports team I've ever tried out for.
I love the X-MEN. Storm is my favorite superhero – she controls the elements.
I have always wanted to be her.
I’m an INTP. I'm messy and the universe is amazing.
I met Jeff when I was 18. We were camp counselors together.
He was the golf director and I was the arts and nature director. He said he'd never met anyone like me. Love.
I hate sewing. I can’t follow a pattern for the life of me.
I have a hard time making decisions – there are too many possibilities in life – which is why I am a mixed media artist.
11 is my favorite number. It’s balanced. (Hence 11 facts.)
