I am an artist with a day job as an art teacher because lets face it the whole starving artist gig does not cut it. I also teach kids to finger paint, draw stick figures, and play with play dough, yes you can get paid for that.....kidding. My choice of medium is paint, cut-paper, charcoal, jewerly, and enameling. I teach middle school art to middle school monsters, but I love them...most of the time, when they are not hitting on me. My job always keeps me on my toes and is never boring.

I love, love, love music, going to shows and finding new music. When I find a new band I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning opening gifts. A few of my favorite bands are The Shins, Feist, Broken Social Scene, MGMT, the Album Leaf, Arcade Fire, Ratatat, Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, Do Make Say Think, Do Make Say Think, Radiohead, Peter Bjorn & John, Mogwai, Mum, Stars, Spoon, Phoenix, Andrew Bird, Rilo Kiley, Postal Service, Death Cab for Cutie, Caribou, Seabear, TV on the Radio, Kenna, the Walkmen, Wolf Parade, Secret Machines, Devotchka, Film School, Explosions in the Sky, Ra ra Riot, Couch, Daft Punk, Boards of Canada, Clap Your Hands say Yea, Deerhunter, Hot Chip, Holy Fuck, Of Montreal, The Strokes, Tapes n' Tapes, DJ Shadow, Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, Grizzley Bear, St. Vincent, Passion Pit, Sigur Ros, Wilco, way too many to name.....

I love food, films, and interesting people. I have a passion for learning, and I really enjoy the smaller things in life and trying new things.

I love traveling, and if I could I would steal Anthony Bourdaine's job in a heartbeat.

I am a work out addict. I love running...I'm training for the White Rock Half and the Big D Marathon after that. I love hiking, biking, and anything that allows me to explore and be outside.

My family and friends are very important to me, and I am very loyal to them. I have a very large extended family and we are very close...who has every kind of potato at christmas because yes we are an irish family. My dog Roxy is also another important thing in my life. I rescued her about a year ago, and I cannot imagine life without that monster and her hair all over my carpet.

I create art, teach art, run, workout, love being around my friends and family, go to shows, go to the dog park with my monster, and I love to travel.

creating art, being sarcastic, listening, being goofy, having fun, finger painting, drawing stick figures, burning food....

I'm and artsy and creative person, or my smile and green eyes.

Going to a show, a movie, or out with friends.

I've had a lot of experiences that have made me the strong individual I am today.
