Over the Divide
I've been quiet, yet loud with my works. After moving away, investing myself passionately into school, and visiting Ireland (which was the most beautiful, art-filled experience of my life so far), I've really learned how to be the me I've always wanted and that's really coming out in my art. I can talk about things. I call things beautiful.
Since I graduated, a non-profit hired me and I'm actually doing the things I love and am good at. Writing, editing, photography, management, & running the occasional cocktail party. I run my own photography business as a sole proprietorship & while that's just starting, it's really exciting to int

The Art Escape
Now that the worst semester of my life is over & I don't think I can physically consume any more medication for my health, I have two weeks of vacation before my last semester of academia. It's bittersweet.
I plan to full submerse myself into all my various art interests. So I may be flooding your inbox. x.x
