Always Learning...
I have always liked to be creative. One of my favorite memories is the smell of my dad's old art box. The mixture of charcoal and kneaded erasers still lingers.
In college, I took a few art classes, but I usually spent to much time on my creations, and not enough time on my academics. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. Later I returned to school to finish my K-12 Art Minor and to take a few graduate classes.
While teaching public school, I taught myself to use Photoshop and Illustrator. Etsy provides the perfect platform for selling my art. Taking classes to move on the pay scale is mandatory. I signed up for a web design class that rekindled my love of code and I started scouring the web for ways to teach myself web development. I blog to use some of my coding and web development skills. I use my shop to sell my art as well as my lessons and bulletins.
If you have questions or requests, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Enjoy :)
