Born in 1978 to my parents, who divorced when I was four. My mother remarried when I was five; my father remarried when I was six, and again when I was twenty-seven. Oh wait...that's this year! I grew up mostly on a 4-acre farm just outside of Ames, Iowa. We had several horses, a dog, and a rotating cast of cats. I didn't do much in high school, mostly because of our distance from the school (ten miles) and from any kids my age (also about ten miles). I was in band until the end of 9th grade (clarinet), various choirs (swing, jazz, chorus, and chorale..singing first alto, second soprano, first soprano, and second alto, respectively) throughout junior high and high school, and I participated in Individual and Group Speech contests. I spent half a year at the University of Iowa in Iowa City before dropping out and getting married. After a little more than a year, I got divorced and moved back to Iowa City. I've spent most of my time living in and around Iowa City since then, except for a six-month stint in Green Bay from Oct 01-April 02. Since moving back in '02, I have met and become handfasted to the man who has helped me become the best person I have ever been, made a whole new slew of amazing friends, improved my artwork (even had an art show!), started learning Japanese, and developed a taste for tomatoes. Current plans are to find a way to move to Australia next year, and to finish the three paintings I have promised to people!!

I've recently become enamored of icon-making. Credit for any and all items I have used/will use goes to:
