| Oh my, where to begin... where to begin. Alright, so I go by psithurism (which means "the sound of leaves rustling in a soft but sudden burst of wind), i'm about to turn 26 (which really depresses me) and i live in towson, MD. Art - literally - is my life. I'm a full-time model, a photographer, digital photo artist, makeup artist, musician, dancer, writer, actress and videographer. If I'm awake, I'm doing something artistic - I don't have time not to be! I've been involved in the arts for my entire life and I cannot imagine doing anything else with it. My ultimate goal is to have a production company that offers audio, photography and videography services - and of course, I want to keep making my own art and putting it out there. A little background info - I was born in nashville, TN. I grew up in baltimore, MD and then I went to Berklee College of Music in boston, MA. After that my (then) boyfriend and I moved to tampa, FL for three and a half years and this past october my now husband was transferred up to towson, MD so I got to move home! I really hated living in florida... can't handle the constant tropical climate, lack of seasons and ugh... the heat! When the seasons don't change, I feel like time doesn't move forward so the whole time we were living in tampa it was always may of 2005 in my mind... and then we move to maryland and suddenly it was october of 2008. Wow. And, I gotta say, time has just FLOWN BY since we moved back up here... I can't believe it's almost been six months since the move, feels like maybe six weeks... time moves forward again, that makes me happy. I'm adopted, my sister is adopted and she's my best friend in the world... she is the only one who fully understands how freaking crazy our parents are, and she and I are freaking glad we don't have their genes... they tend to either live forever or go completely insane - neither one of those options is very appealing to me, so I'll embrace the mystery that is my genetic make-up... because I'll never know... and I like it that way. My husband is the most wonderful man in the world, he's a fellow musician and art enthusiast, we actually met in boston because I was dating his roommate - lol - but all turned out well, in fact, his roommate was one of the groomsmen in our wedding, so it's all good, we're all great friends... heh, and that NEVER happens in that kind of situation! Growing up I was, on top of everything else, involved in competitive horseback riding from the age of 8 until I was about 16 or so. That was a hard thing to give up, but I had to make room in my schedule for dancing and music and that's the way it had to be. I miss it, but I don't regret giving up that lifestyle... I always saw myself with a career in the arts. I've attempted "real" jobs (lol) - retail, administrative office positions, waitressing, assembly worker (heh, you name it, i've done it) - but they never really worked out for me... I can't handle the monotony of a set schedule and just... agh... doing the SAME THING day in and day out, the exact same way, year after year after year after year... well, you get the point. Umm... a few more fun facts: I speak Russian fluently (I've spent a lot of time in Moscow, actually), I "collect" random and obscure words and make it a point to weed them into my vocabulary so they'll flow during conversations (a stupid thing that makes me feel smart - pathetic, I know, but I really do love words) and yeah... we're probably going to move to Canada in a few years, somewhere in the Vancouver area... we were in Canada for our honeymoon... and yeah, that's where we need to end up! So, heh, in a nutshell (believe it or not), that's me. I'm a ridiculously complicated but very open person. I could go on forever, but eh... it's not really necessary. If you wanna know something about me, ask... no question is too personal or bizarre... trust me, I've heard them all before! I hope you like my art - in all it's various forms - because it is my life, and the most rewarding thing about being an artist is reaching people and touching them on deeper levels than surface conversation evokes. I put my all into everything I do, and even though it's really for me, I would be a liar if I said that I didn't care about getting some recognition! So... love me or hate me... either way, I got your attention, didn't I?  |
