About Me
Thank you for visiting my website. There are a lot of different things you might find here, but most things are related to art, animals, nature, science, and spirituality. It’s my hope that with everything I share with you, it brings you some encouragement, joy, light, and hope.
Some info about me:
- Love animals and nature.
- Love drawing and painting animals and nature.
- Love finding humor and the joy in life, so I also like to draw comics. My younger siblings have enjoyed (most of the time) my drawings of talking toilets and stories about flying blobs from space!
- Love science and enjoy listening to podcasts and audiobooks about quantum physics.
- Love reading, hiking, gardening, building things
- Do use my bachelor’s degree in biology with a concentration in animal behavior and species preservation in the work I do as an artist, writer, and animal advocate. Getting that degree was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
- Went through training to be a certified nursing assistant years ago and worked for over 20 years as an in-home caregiver for a family member who had disabilities requiring 24/7 medical care. My life is still in a state of adjustment after that family member’s soul left this physical dimension and traveled to the dimension of Heaven 3 years ago.
- Christian since I was six years old. God is the most important aspect of my life, and I believe that spirituality and science cannot be separated because spirituality is reality.
- In college I was taught that when researching information for a paper, if you really want to get facts that are not changed or filtered through opinion or bias in secondary sources like magazine and newspaper articles, you want to look for information that is as close to the original source as possible. These sources are called primary sources, and can include things like original scientific papers published in peer reviewed journals or direct communications with experts or the people who have personally studied or experienced the chosen research topic. For me, when thinking about spirituality and universal truths, other humans, including many pastors and church leaders in my experience, are secondary sources who I’ve seen filter God’s truths through their own personal opinions, fears, and egos. Jesus is my primary source of truth.
- I am a highly sensitive person (HSP), an introvert, and empath.
And, I love learning!
- Bachelor of Arts degree in environmental, population, and organismic biology (with a concentration on animal behavior and species conservation)
- Diploma in writing for children and teens
- Certificate in canine behavior consulting
- Certificate in holistic life coaching
- Certificate in therapeutic art life coaching
- Certificate in careers in animal advocacy
- (Someday I’d like to add a certificate or degree in scientific or natural science illustration here)
Thank you for visiting and reading!
