    Interests

    I am an artist, a starving one at that.Trying to get to the point where I can be a forensic artist.Still looking for the classes I need for it and the money to pay for them.I would love to give a family at least some peace, giving a face to the dead that have none, and maybe give the family something to bury so they know their loved one isn't forgotten. I am starting to learn to quilt, although I am not a sewer, far from it lol. My other main interest is Fostering Cats and Kittens for various agencies including the humane society.I also am trying to get a spay / neuter program going for the shelters.I have been a rescue worker, foster and volunteer for animals for around 15 years.
