I grew up and currently live in the great Mid-Of-West, discovered I had a knack for the creative in Jr. High when I found I could write poems and short stories. I've always loved to take pictures, and have recently discovered I can digitally paint as well. In addition to my love of photography and Art, my hobbies include writing, studying Native American culture and language, camping, hiking, traveling and exploring new places, and I have a deep love of nature and animals.more
