I am a 29 year old single mother of one independent 8 year old little girl with tons of energy, graphic/web design student, working, altered artist and homemaker.

I find inspiration in the sea and love anything to do with it, mermaids are my favorite art pieces to create. I love the unique and unusual, I am drawn to dark art and skeletons, but equally enjoy fairy's and hearts.

I appreciate everything hand made and take a great deal of time and care when making my own pieces.

Currently I live in beautiful Sedona, AZ and have for 17 years (minus the 3 years in MS), but I am recently engaged to an amazing southern man and will be moving back to Mississippi at the end of May this year.

I like a variety of music but my favorites are: Pink Floyd, Eminem, Tool, Nirvana, Tori Amos, Bjork, Jewel, Fiona Apple, Atmosphere, Yelawolf, Hole, NIN, Death Cab for Cutie, All American Rejects and several others.

The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz, Naked, Wicked, On the Road, When you are Engulfed in Flames, Twilight series, Alice in Wonderland, Where the Sidewalk Ends, Enders Game, Slaughterhouse-Five; or, The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death, Pistol Poets and SO many more.

I work in Collage, Mixed Media, Painting, Altered art, sewing, beading, paper clay, photography..

Extras I could use: paintbrushes

Scrapbook paper (mostly heavy weight designed paper in blues/greens/creams..)

Dresden trim

laces (in subdued and soft colors)

seam binding

glitter

Sharpies

Watercolors

rhinestones

(look in my Flickr favorites or on my Pinterest for the kinds of colors and items I adore)

I have two parts to my personality, I love dark and unusual art but I also love lacy pastel glittery art as well.

Color: Anything in the blue/green family especially seafoam green. I also am more partial to subdued colors. Creams, monochromes, I really love color as long as it is put together well.

I love anything Vintage:
photos
found pieces (especially if they are rusty)
millinery flowers
stamen
rhinestone costume jewelry
ceramic/bone china mini animals
OLD mini plastic animals
flower wallpapers
Also collect vintage Halloween and Christmas items.

I love Darth Vadar, Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, The Munsters, Owls, Turtles, Dogs (any animal really!) Day of the Dead and Zombie items.

I love anything handmade especially when you can tell someone lovingly created it.

My favorite flowers are peony, daisy's and roses, but they are all beautiful.

I also like:
heart shaped box's
anthropomorphic art
unusual and dark art
