I do other things than just think of food to cook…

I do come from a family of great artistic talents; I unfortunately did not get the professional art bug like my mother, father and younger sister. However, I do have and artistic side which I dabble in every few years. Whether that be sketching, painting and/or wishing I didn’t give away all my jewelry making materials and machines. I am good with my hands and am not afraid to get dirty.

When I was, and went to High School, I was fortunate to be going to a public school that provided an amazing selection of art courses and one of those courses was Jewelry Making. As a teenager, jewelry couldn’t be a better choice for me, especially coming from a family that prided themselves as true artistic people.

So I took the class, and as I remember, the only class I attended 100% of the time I was in HS. I had a great teacher, who put up with my teenage crap, and to my astonishment, still believed in me, even though there was another student who was technically and more imaginative than I ever could be and brought all her ideas to a real product, unlike me (my father, trying to help had to show off with his own designs…I still have them).

I can’t remember the girl’s name, but she could design and bring to life “bugs” in a scale of Jewelry, even though the creations were not wearable, they were amazing and I felt inside, I would never be that driven and creative in the Jewelry World and because of that I doubted everything about my talent. Yet, I was (with strings) considered to attend a prominent school in MA to further my Jewelry making endeavors.

I ignored it all and decided to just work for a living; To prove that I am a Smart, Talented and exceptional person in the “real” working world. I wanted to get my hands on technology that I was denied in HS and move forward and be a success in the working world.

Alright, I’ve blabbed enough about my personal BS and have most definitely made you wonder what the hell this post is about…

Well, I’ve gotten so bored not working, my creative side is finally coming out again…

Here is my most recent painting…If anyone wants to purchase, just comment, I'll get back to you.
