Hi!

I'm a bit late introducing myself and I suppose I shouldn't repeat what's on my page so let's see how I can reword things. (Did you know a Thing was a Viking get together?#homeschoolmom)

I've been drawing since I was little. I have almost no art education and no guidance from a mentor, so I tend to learn on the go and experiment with processes. Until this year I had never "inked" or "colored" or "digitized" any of my art. The idea of drawing on non-lined paper was overwhelming.

After becoming a Christian a few years ago, I've been attempting to get "serious" about my interests. I've given up pretty quickly after any exposure, but am trying to stick with drawing. I haven't been successful in any "practical" venues like print layout, web managing or advertising. There is one coffee shop owner who pays me for doing a bit of this and that, but I don't feel comfortable charging him a fee anything on the level of a professional.

Being a home schooling mom, it's a struggle to define when I'm "off." I refer to it as my "Spare Free Time." Nothing is more enjoyable to me than sitting down and either sketching out thumbnails or doodling a page.

Coloring is a pain, but hey, I'm new and speed will come with practice.

On the mater of Christ, I want to do a good job for Him. Defining what "good" and "job" is has been a big part of my journey. Separating what is "good" for Him and for mankind has been a struggle. I often feel like I have to settle with "good enough" and trust that my "best" will get "better" with time. I often struggle with my "job" or role in the world.

Wow, that got long pretty quickly! Hope it wasn't too boring! I look forward to the art and projects and fellowship on this site!
