| While I am a traditional artist myself, I love art in any medium. |
| Since childhood I've loved making things, and one day I realised that if Pollock could be an artist, so could I. My partner is also an artist and sculptor, and we have two small children- a boy and a girl. I don't like to categorize myself by specializing; I believe in the ideal of the "Renaissance Man" (or Woman!) who is equally educated in every field that they choose to explore. There are so many exciting media out there that I can't settle with just one. I get bored easily... I am self-taught, as much as anyone with a library can be. Once, I had a formal art lesson, but after looking at the work of the other students there, it struck me that their work all looked exactly and disturbingly the same, and I ran away. I am drawn to beauty in every form, and try to make my work beautiful, whether in the sound of words, the form and colour of pencil and paint, or the structure and drape of costume. I think that it's sometimes too easy to be shocking and famous, without artistic merit. I would rather attempt to find something pleasing and truthful, than settle for popular mediocrity through pickling dead sharks.  |

the emoticon's close enough. They don't always have to be appropriate anyway- most people seem to pick the most unrelated emote for their comments, in the hope that they will come across as deep and obscure lol...
, i really appreciate it!
