About me

Gender	Female
Location	Indiana, United States
Introduction	I love a well brewed cup of tea, British television, thunderstorms, Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec. An artist and a writer, sometimes I think that as long as I have paper and pen, the world could tumble down around me and I would be oblivious. Life is grand, if not always easy, and God is (always) good.
