Creating a lifetime.

For as long as I can remeber I have had a love for creating things with my hands.

I don't think I have ever resticted myself to just one form of creativity, I just followed what caught my interest. Most of my youth I spent learning the arts of textiles, and working with porcelain. When I was 15yrs old I designed and made formal dresses for my friends going to Deb balls. I began to study period costumes and everything about how they wore them to the fabric weaves and all the beauty that people painstakingly went to just to walk out the door in days gone by.

I have no regrets that I didn't put my focus on drawing and painting at a young age, I knew I could draw and paint, at that point those skills I used for designing gowns for my hand made porcelain dolls, and art I started learning when I was 18yrs old. The flame for it has dwindled a little at the moment. But I never say never, one day I'm sure I'll go back to it, this time to create my own originals not make reproductions.

In the last year I have finally found my passion for fine art in drawing and painting and have decided to give it my focus and master the art. (If you can ever truly master it, art is something I pray I will be learning how to improve on until I'm no longer needed for gods work on the Earth and he calls me home.)

Being a mother to two precious small children is my main priority and being a good wife to my husband and run our home efficently. a worthy task and I gladly accept it with pleasure for the wonderful blessing of becoming a mother after 13yrs of sadness with the losses of unborn children I will never know. The joy of motherhood is here now and even with its trials I wouldn't trade a day of it.

Even with my busy life I can find time to pursue my passions in the late evenings and the times in the day when my kids take a nap, and for this I have my lord to thank for showing me how to do it.

I love to draw with different kinds of mediums. My current mediums have been Graphite/graphitint pencils. I'm loving the effects. I'm about to venture into Oil pastels! Wish me luck...
