Location Orange County, California, United States
Introduction I'm a 27 year old artist living in Southern California. My many passions include painting and photography and for the first time in my life I'm working to make a living doing what I love. A few of the other "jobs" I have are being an Art History student at Cal State Long Beach, Jewelry Designer for my very own Etsy shop, and I'm currently planning my wedding. Somehow I'm keeping all of this straight as I recover from back surgery and hope to be more active and fruitful with each passing day. Join me in my artful journey!
