I am a 32 year-old industrial/cyber/punk/goth girl from Pennsylvania. I am a graduate of the Art Institute of Philadelphia, where I majored in photography, and graduated with a Best Portfolio Award and full honors in September, 1992. I am the owner of an Art Achievement Award from when I graduated High School, as well as a Gold Key Award from the Central Pennsylvania Scholastic Awards. Photography has always been a big part of my life, but it is currently only a hobby while I work on my current ambitions, which are all in the fashion design field. I primarily create and sell gothic inspired clothing, though I do not consider myself to be a goth in the traditional sense...see above for what I feel currently fits me as far as labels go. I am a mother, a wife, a teacher (being that my daughters are homeschooled and I am the one who happens to spend most time teaching them, I guess that would make me their teacher), a pagan, a chef (when I feel the need to make a meal in our way-too-small kitchen), a soap-maker, a thrift-store-scavenger, a herbalist, a woman.
