1. Tell me about yourself.
Well. In relation to school, I've done really good in school with very little passion. This is supposed to be honest, yes? Well, there you go. School came naturally to me, luckily, and I did what I had to do. In other aspects, I'm fiercely creative in every aspect of my life, from art to clothing to my kaleidescope room. I love to cook for people, I'm not sure how that helps, and I compulsively write, I have to write everything down because my memory is terrible. People tell me I have ahhh-mayyyzzzing handwriting, but it's probably all the practice that helped. A psychic once told me I have "long, creative fingers" so I'm taking that as a compliment.
2. Who in your life has most influenced you?
Probably my dad. My dad and I are carbon copies with different genders. Seriously. We can talk to eachother and understand how the other speaks, we are emotional, sensitive, creative people. This has angered my mother to no end. Oh well. He could always find something I loved, whether it was a scooter or a Spin Art set. He introduced me to art, took me to loads of museums, and gave me any of his expensive art supplies if I wished to make a watercolor of our cats. Even now as I take photo classes he gives me tips and tricks and inspiration. He keeps me in line but also understands why I sometimes do erratic things-artists are all basically insane. It sounds like a generalization, but trust me.

  1. Hahaha, artists are all basically insane. I mean look at Dali. He was crazy but his art is so interesting.
    Also, I think it's awesome that you had your dad there to provide the support for you art. It's nice to have that understanding person there for you.
