New Beginnings

Finally, Iā€™m updating this site!ā€¦ I have had a hell of a time with the previous WordPress theme, and just installed this new, much more basic one.

late October 2019, Vermont

Yesterday was Halloween ā€“ or Samhain, which is the mark of the New Year in some Pagan traditions, and the new moon was just a few nights before. I feel like this is a good time to make a better start with this portfolio, and a real start with this blog.

Art has been important virtually my entire lifeā€¦ after my mother died, a counselor told my dad I would express my pain through art. Whether or not that was indeed true, I donā€™t know ā€“ back then I drew pictures of my mother as an angel, and I drew birds and animals, and the sorts of things little kids drew. But it was such a constant for me growing up (and my dad being an artist himself was a huge influence as well). As I got older I discovered cameras, and how much I loved taking and working with pictures as well as drawing them. So Iā€™ve been doing that a very long time as well. And writing, wellā€¦ Mercury is conjunct my Ascendant in the 12th houseā€¦ seems rather fated šŸ˜‰

So this is me anyway, with my little inconspicuous site. If youā€™ve happened upon this page, hi there.

Thanks for reading,
