    I am an Artist wantabee.  I love art for Art sake.  With 5 kids, foster children, dogs, chickens and bees.  I need something to fill up my time.  I hate cooking, baking, canning, doing laundry, cleaning house and even taking baths (I shower)  My love is for art and it all began when Icould not communicate properly, I needed to use a picture to show it my thoughts.  I hate not being able to express my self.  40 yrs later here I am able to tell you all the wonders that Art can do for you and others we share it with.
