ShaiCoggins's Profile

Bio

I've been creating art and craft for as long as I can remember. I enjoy working with various materials and ideas. I love, love, love to experiment.

About 6 years ago, I ventured in to the more serious side of art - exhibiting and selling. My original work is in various collections in the USA, Singapore, Philippines, Canada, Australia, South Africa, the UK, and other parts of the world. I sold 200+ original paintings in various venues between 2001 - 2004.

However, work, motherhood, and life in general slowed down my artmaking process. I never really stopped creating. But, I avoided selling my creations over the last 3 years (around Sep 2004 - Oct 2007).

But, with a growing inventory of artwork and other doodads, I decided to give this another go. Etsy is my first venture back in to sharing my work in this way.

Other than creating all sorts of art and craft, my main work is media-related. I co-own and work for a top blog network, b5media.com. My main area is Community.

I have a Masters of Social Science in Applied Psychology degree. I was practicing as a trainee psychologist here in Australia in the field of disabilities. I also worked and lived in Singapore and the Philippines prior to moving Down Under.
