About Me

I'm an artist/ educator, I teach art to middle schoolers and have grown to really love my job. I also coach soccer and volleyball.

I am a person that can be nobody else but herself. I'm from all over and love variety. Some may call me a bit strange but I just look at it as having a selective editing button.

I have two dogs, they are spoiled rotten. My girl is a mixture of terriers and my boy a yorkie poo. I have no children of my own so my students are my children right now.

I grew up an army brat and lived in Alabama, Korea ,Missouri, Texas, and now live in Georgia. Even though I am very patriotic I really love things that are from other countries especially Asian and African countries.

Favorite Music

I never go anywhere without my IPod and love new music but what stays in the rotation is...

True Hip Hop- The Roots, Mos Def, Common, The Cool Kids,Soul- Badu, Jill Scott Alternative/ Rock- Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Rage, Radiohead, Cake, and Weezer, Stereolab

Favorite Books

I love to read books written in first person, and anything about religion, but my guilty pleasure comes from reading children's books. Last summer I finished Harry Potter, this summer I am working on the Twilight series,and I keep Alice In Wonderland on the night stand.

Favorite Crafts

My personal art is a play between 2D and 3D I like to build up my paintings. I love all mediums from newspaper to oils. I go through knitting and sewing spurts too. but right know Im working on building a portfolio to go back to college. Gots to get that MFA!

ATC's are my newest creative force and they have inspired my latest works. Yay!! Its hard not being in the art world sometimes. I like receiving ATC's that are clever and well made. Its like Christmas everytime I open my mailbox lately, but I hate receiveing ATC's that look like nobody loved on them a little before sending it out. Thanks so much in advance those of you who spend time on each ATC you make.

I don't have a favorite color, b/c I think every color has a purpose. I'm not so much a fan of things that are overly pink.

My work mainly is an exploration of forms and shapes, I love the female form, textures, stitches, blended colors, and emotions

Patterns are awsome!

Favorite Television

I'm a reality tv junkie, but also Lost, Six feet under, Dead like me, scrubs, everyone loves raymond

enter title...

Overall, I can't say I'm too hard to please, little things make me happy. I'd like to receive what ever you think is a special gift from you. I love, like, or get tickled by: textures contrasting colors patterns silver hand drawn stuff well composed collages stars fish orange different papers layers

I woul love to receive: beads or other jewelry findings note pads papers stamped with your best stamps music sheets pages from books that are not in English magnets gel pens of various colors

Comment: thank you for hosting this swap. my son was so happy to have me to his 2nd grade class for crafts. The kids were glitter crazy and I left with a headache. I think teachers deserve more credit than they get.
Response: its so awsome that you went to help out and got his class involved. I thank you for that. Its rare that people get to see how it is on the other side of the desk. You have to let me know how his class liked the cards my students made

Hi Ondrian, I got an atc like a month ago from you. I was your partner for "Free Theme #9". Back then I didn't give you a heart and you deserved it. Your card is wonderful. I'm sorry =(. I fixed it though. I gave you your heart. Like I said before, better late than never. My apologies again. ~Noemi~
