With my move to Montana and financial struggle that followed, I have been tirelessly applying for jobs with little avail. It has given me ample time to consider what inspires me in life, what drives me forward, and where I want to go though- which has been wonderful!

I have assembled a tumblr, and if you watch me, you can bet you will see some beautiful pictures, learn a little bit more about what makes me tick, and get the opportunity to see art once I get my scanner. I may even offer free art from time to time!

So if you'd like to see sketches in the future, learn about my Etsy I will be opening soon to sell carvings and paintings, and possibly win some art- Check it out!

I live in Montana now. I draw but don't own a scanner. Sometime very soon I will try to take some pictures of something.

After approximately 1800 miles and a few weeks of adjusting, I can say that I have finally caught up with myself here in Florida. Being a northern girl, the weather here doesn't suit me, but I get by and I learn more about myself every day.

I've become more artistic lately. Not too active, but I've been sketching a lot again, and I took up charcoal. With the aid of my boyfriend, I've had the pleasure of doing some figure drawing, and I've actually been commissioned to make some logos and designs for the store I work at. Things are going alright, I am finding ways to poke art into my life more as I pursue my education and career. I will not be here forever, but for the time it is nice. I am focusing on my knee, saving some money, and then I will be moving to Montana! I will find a way to make it work. Pretty exciting stuff.

I will be purchasing a scanner sometime soon, so I will hopefully be able to put a few pieces up. My mother just sent my tablet for these commissions, so I may get into digital art again too.

I'll try to keep the updates going. I promise I am not dead, I still check this site daily.

This evening I am driving south to CT to see my mother. Tomorrow evening, or early wednesday, I will be driving south from there to DC to see a friend of my boyfriend and stay for a night. After that, we're bound to Charleston, SC to stay a night with my father, then on to St Petersburg, FL where my boyfriend is captain for a spearfishing lionfish tournament this weekend. HOLY TRAVELS!

So, the short and skinny is that, as inactive as I am, I am going to continue being inactive for a while. I have finally been getting active again though, and I have been drawing and designing more, so perhaps when I get settled I will update some.

I don't know how long I will be in FL. Maybe just a week, maybe two or three. Regardless, I have some wildlife work waiting for me in Texas, so I am going to be heading there from FL as soon as I can. Going to break the trip up with a stop in New Orleans, then a long, hot few months in Texas awaits me.

I'll be, in the very least, posting some photography of wildlife when I get to TX since I will be working with some amazing animals. Look forward to some pics of tamanduas, aardvarks, wallaroos and binturongs! And I think we can all expect some characters to come of it as well.

See yall on the flip side.

I don't post here often. I have considered leaving, but I know I want to at least keep the gallery.

Life is crazy.

Hopefully I'll find my muse again soon and have something to show for it. Now I'm just feeling broken and a bit empty, like my creativity was ice cream sucked out from the bottom of the cone before I realized it was slowly disappearing. I'm scrambling to find work and a home for the summer. Perhaps it's all just stress.

Music helps.

See ya when I get these juices flowing again.
