Location	Rapid City, South Dakota, United States
Introduction	I have been drawing since I was a child. Anywhere & everywhere I could see a blank page, canvas, or wall! I have known for many years that being an illustrator would be a dream job! Therefore, I have studied other artists, illustrators, designers, and crafters alike for years & focused myself on continuing to practice my creativity. I am blogging to share my creative outlet with others. Plus I find this is a great way to network and connect with other creative and imaginative friends!
