I am an artist and musician who has been studying and practicing both for over 20 years. I give violin and beginning piano lessons in my area and I have taught art at the collegiate level in the past. I quit to make more time for my family and raising and teaching my kids. I still work as a freelancer from time to time. I think the simbi concept is pretty great and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all pans out! Check out my Facebook page for a better idea of my style and if you're interested in something other than my offered services, send me a message and we can talk. I'm a nerd, so that almost always comes out in my work. I love me some mermaids and you will definitely see some goddesses in the mix. I usually stick with the human figure because I think it's beautiful but I can draw just about anything. I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm also an avid reader and writer. I've written body copy for websites (I have a degree in graphic design) as well as doing blog post commissions and editing from time to time.

I'm definitely good for a critique (critique was a regular part of the classes I taught) and I really do try to by nice but I tend to be a little too pragmatic sometimes and will get right to the point. That point might be something you did excellently or it might be something that needs to improve but I never mean the improvements as a personal attack and I am always, always trying to help you get better. If you are an artist who is really looking to stretch and grow, let's talk!
