Tell us a little about what you make:
I make whatever has my interest at the moment,
or I find something that I want to try to master.
I would say I'm an oil painter, but I tend to show my black
and white photography much more. I've also gotten
into graphic designing lately, and have a line of shirts
called "Universal Muse' that resulted. I guess
mostly I make people confused because I'm always on to the
next form of art I'd like to try!
What is the price range of your work: $40.00-$5000.00
(Shirts to Paintings)
Where can a shopper buy your merchandise?
I have a few things listed on Etsy.com,
but most of my work for sale is displayed on www.notaprettygirl.net
Formal art training or education: I have a degree
in Painting and Photography from SUNY Potsdam, New York
Where do you get your inspiration from? Life experiences.
Imagination. I'm sort of all over the place!
Describe any other hobbies or interesting things about yourself.
I met my husband in NY. He is a traveling
musician, so in order to date I had to go on tour with him.
I spent 3 months and 9000 miles on the roads across the
U.S. with him before we decided to make Reno our base of
operations. I guess another thing people find interesting
is that all my photography is photos of myself in costume,
shot by myself.
List any awards etc. that you are proud of.
I was awarded the Sierra Arts Grant. It was
the only grant I'd ever applied for, so I was shocked!
I also got to shoot my myself for the cover of Clever Magazine
in July, which was a great honor.
