Kakabel Tenshi Report | 09/03/2011 5:33 pm: Hello my fellow gaian~!
I have seen the art that you have collected over the years...
It is impressive!

I think that it is awsome that you are studying some of what the human mind is capable of.
I am a highschool student and despite the fact that I prolly will never end up as a psychologist or anything of the like (due to my bad grades)
I am entering a "child psychology and development class" because our mentallity and what comes from it has always fasinated me.

About

About Nora!

I've been a member of Gaia since July of 2003. I worked for Gaia as a moderator and then admin from 2004 till the end of 2010, and now I am focused full time on finishing my doctorate. Working for Gaia was a fascinating and educational experience, and although it had ups and downs, I wouldn't trade it for anything. <3

Off the Internets, I'm 28 years old and I live in NYC with an assortment of cats, hamsters, and plants. I collect art, love to cook (especially Indian and Thai food), read voraciously, spend way too much time playing with cosmetics, and am addicted to chocolate. I am an avid music lover and a knitter when I have time (which is rare these days).

I am a doctoral student pursuing a PhD in Clinical Neuropsychology so that I can (some day!) become a practicing clinical neuropsychologist. My research area of interest is the neuropsychology of emotion. I am especially interested in empathy, as well as how the brain produces emotional experience. My current research projects specifically involve emotional functioning in subjects with Parkinson's Disease and in healthy older adults.

I love comments! If you have any (non-Gaia) questions or comments, please post and I'll do my best to comment back. smilies/icon_heart.gif

If you have comments turned off, please don't ask me a question! I do actually try to reply back to comments, but I will do so by leaving you a comment! If you have comments turned off, no reply for you! And that is sad. smilies/icon_sad.gif

Art Collection & Commissions

As I mentioned earlier, I collect art! I have over 2000 pieces of art in my collection at this time. To see just a few examples of these, please visit my Art Gallery. My full gallery is sadly not very updated, but if you are interested in seeing more, go here and here

If you are interested in doing a commission for me and would like to see my references and post your samples and prices, stop by my Art Request Thread!

Just a note, I did not make any of the art in my profile, nor am I an artist. So please don't send me PMs asking me to make you art! Not only is this rude, but you really don't want me to draw you so much as a stick figure, I assure you. smilies/icon_gonk.gif

And although it should go without saying, please do not use any of my art or code, either from my profile or my request thread/gallery. This would be stealing and would make me very unhappy.
