16 Things About Me

1. I spend far more time reading about art than making it. It's my nature to read north, south, east, and west of a topic as well as outside the box.

2. ...But sometimes I'm obscenely optimistic and just jump into things without any experience and very little knowledge.

3. My first two Art Dolls got me juried into the Lemon Street Art Gallery in 2005. I had seen Art Doll Quarterly magazine and had no previous idea I could sculpt.

4. Some of my hand sculpted polymer clay beads appear in the book Polymer Artists Showcase, by Tejae Floyde.

5. I'm learning to draw and would like to teach myself to paint too.

6. I'm more inclined to quietly observe than to talk.

7. I can flip flop between being an introvert and being outspoken and it surprises people sometimes.

8. I used to work in Pathology as an Anatomical Pathology Technician, assisting with federal, state forensic, pediatric, clinical and other autopsies.

9. I grew up around a number of different languages and can easily start picking up parts of languages but Chinese makes me feel like an idiot.

10. I almost never get depressed or bored.

11. I could research or work at a project for 16 or 18 hours a day without getting tired. I like to call it attention surplus but some people call it ADD. Everything's a disorder these days, according to some people.

12. I feel comfortable with very little, unless you're talking about art supplies, ha ha. :)

13. I'm on the autism range.

14. I want to go back to Paris and a few other places.

15. I can be focused, on task, and calm in extremely stressful situations.

16. Spatial intelligence is one of my most dominant intelligences and I use by left and right hemisphere's almost equally.

I occasionally blog at karenascofield.wordpress.com/.

I don't sell my art or jewelry at this time.
