About
I have been painting/creating/drawing since I was two years old. Granted, those days are long past and it was mere finger paints and building blocks, but everyone has to start somewhere, right?When I was younger, I had dyslexia and was forced by preference and ease (for the sake of everyone else, not mine) to write left-handed. I have been a southpaw ever since, although I am technically ambidextrous. I remember wanting to be a marine biologist, an oceanographer and a veterinarian all from a very young age. It was only after I enrolled in several art classes throughout junior high and high school that I realized that I had a knack for it. I loved the feel of drawing/painting. I loved (and still love) learning.
I learned crochet from my step-mother and grandmother and to my knowledge am the only remaining family member to carry on the tradition. I learned beading and jewelry making on my own (and am still learning). I am self-taught in nearly everything else, including dread making, wig making, knitting, bead weaving, sewing, and rug making.
I was never able to stick with one hobby for very long and I could never get down to just drawing or painting all the time.
I am a college graduate from the University of Central Missouri (CMSU in my day) and I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Illustration. So far, my degree amounts to little, but maybe some day that will change.
Right now, however, I travel from place to place with my Navy tied husband and support him by keeping the home affairs in order.
I have two cats named Galaxy and Magellan who are brother and sister. Right now, they are my maintaining sanity and I love them very much. I also have a very young son (never thought I would be there!) whom I love quite a lot.
My goal is to have tarantulas (again) and add snakes and lizards, more cats and some dogs to the family. Unfortunately, that will have to wait until my traveling days are over.
My ultimate happiness would be to make a small living out of selling art to people who actually enjoy what I draw/paint. So far, I haven’t found anyone interested in long term investment. Oh well, I can dream, can’t I?
When I am not creating something for the sake of creating it, I am playing with my cats, remembering to eat or exercising with my husband. I absolutely love being outside and would love to live out in the country with trees and fields and fresh air.
If you by chance live in Japan or would like to know about living here, send me a line. I can always use more friends. It’s hard being a military wife, but I love it.
A short note about my screen name: It has absolutely nothing to do with Battlestar Galactica, so please stop asking. CanesGalactica is the derivative of "canes" which means "serpent" or the "serpent's head" and "galactica" which is just a made up term to refer to the galaxy as a whole, so CanesGalactica = "serpent's head galaxy" or roughly thereof.
To be honest, I have never seen an episode of BSG in my life and have no intentions of doing so, although I am a closet Trekkie and have a fondness for series like Dr. Who and Firefly.

I hope that you have a wonderful day!
Thanks for buying~! x2
To be honest, I liked it better when it remembers to owe up to its promises and can maintain constant contact with various members of its site, instead of, well I'd say it here but I might get banned if I say it aloud.

True to form, here is the thread I mean.

I know the link to the dot hack thread I speak of if you're still interested by chance.
What gives? crying
To answer the question, its in case anyone else is looking for them, for the upcoming issues of a Magazine by Gaians, for Gaians actually.
I am not too sure if you had the same kind of problems, but finding willing artists or role-players is painful to say the least. crying
