For me art is a form of translating and expressing feelings, thoughts, memories and passions that are aren't so easy to translate into words. As a little girl I always wanted to hang my creations up on the refrigerator or in my bedroom. You can say that I was somewhat of an aspiring artist. I even took up drawing portraits in black and gray pencils. My famous piece was one of Marilyn Monroe. That love I have for art as a little girl has lived inside of me ever since.

A huge bonus for me is that I don't have to worry about the mess afterwards. The folks over at Ihop … [Read more...]
