I am an artist and graphic designer in south-central Texas. With over 16 years of experience as an in-house, jack-of-all-trades designer, plus free-lance experience, I have at least temporarily retired to focus on mental health and reinventing myself. While I am focusing on personal skills to mitigate mental illness and severe short-term memory damage (incurred to treat that illness), I am also reassessing what my long-term goals are and who I want to be. I'm also taking time to extend my education to both refine and expand my skills along my journey to try to find my true passion. In general, as a rule, I am not currently taking on commissions and outside projects at this time. However, if a cause resonates with me, I could see myself willing to break that rule.
For fun, I am finally exploring Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels as I rediscover my love of reading. I also like to wrestle with my 50-60 pound fur babies and repeatedly violate my husband's territory with googly eyes and inappropriate sticky notes. I have what I've been told is an odd fondness for inserting squirrels into movie posters. (I personally don't see what's odd about it. They just...belong.) I enjoy writing and have started several stories I may never finish, except for one: a short children's story that may well never see the light of publication, as it seemed to have a questionable effect on a dear cousin, who happens to be a pastor. Current projects include repressing the urge to "enhance" my love's prized photo from his racing days and trying desperately to remember what I was supposed to add to my reminder app just now.

Pratt had a contest for his FB cover image. I didn't win...
