About Me

Hi there! I'm a 24 year old living in Hawaii. I've been growing my art supply collection for a few years now and would love to share some of the piece I create with them with others.

Art is just one of those hobbies that I can keep coming back to and get re-inspired over and over again. My other hobbies include photography, BJD, and gaming. Although my hobbies tend to be on the creative side, I finished my Bachelor's and Master's Criminal Justice. I like to say that I have a creative sense of justice. (;

I used to work 50 hour weeks and go to graduate school full time, so now that I've graduated I have a lot of spare time on my hands with just work to deal with. I also spend a good portion of my time with my rabbit, Pumpernickel. He's my cheeky little boy who likes to chew my desk. I have a cat, Pepper, but she prefers to be outside.

My rabbit does shed a lot, so that may be a problem for those allergic to animal fur. Half of my office, where I do most of my creative stuff, is his room.

Favorite Music

I like most kinds of music if it's catchy to me. The only genre I tend to stay away from is rap.

Some musical artists/composers I love:

  • Andrea Bocelli

  • Josh Groban

  • Rascal Flatts

  • Home Free

  • Pentatonix

  • Owl City

  • My Chemical Romance

  • Adele

  • Maroon 5

  • Alan Menken

  • Stephen Sondheim

  • Tiny Tim

Favorite Books

I'm a major Harry Potter fan. It's the series I grew up with that was an escape for me. I mostly enjoy fantasy books, most of the time labeled for teens/young adults. The most adult-ish book I've read, other than books during my university time, is 'Deep Six' by Clive Cussler.

Books I enjoy:

  • The Loch

  • A Series of Unfortunate Events

  • The Keys to the Kingdom series

  • Percy Jackson and the Olympians series

  • The Bartimaeus Trilogy

  • Pendragon series

  • The Great Gatsby
