Currently working a full-time job that I love but am looking forward to retiring one day to pursue my passion - ART. Photos play a huge part in that. When I get off work and I have a moment to myself, I'm drawing or painting (often using photos for practice) or I'm playing with photos or art programs on my computer. I love photography and videography. I like capturing all those special moments to share with family or to watch later myself. Often, I take photos with art in mind, taking photos of things or scenes or animals I'd like to paint or draw. Art is soothing and fulfilling for me and I love making people happy with the art I make for them. Other than that, I'm a busy grandmother of six hoping to create some happy memories and maybe teach them a thing or two while I still can. I would even love to write a book, if for no other reason than to leave behind something that says, "I was here" and this is my story--before I forget my story. I think it would be interesting to read about my ancestors lives, what it was like for them growing up, etc.
