Robin (that's me)

I am a former art teacher, current animal lover and artist of many mediums.

I am 30 something with a husband, four cats and two houses...anyone looking to buy a house in the Ferndale area?

I love color and art that says something. My day job is working as an advocate for children with rare disabilities and my hobbies are: creating, volunteering with animals, reading, shopping and going to the theater (when I can occasionally DRAG my husband). Oh, I also really like visiting Cider Mills.

OK.

I've been in Warren for two years, since the folks became unable to do for themselves. I used to be a critic in Chicago, but now, I seldom leave the house. Wrote one bit for the Metro Times, but we didn't seem to get along.

Studio MFA, but haven't made much in a long time. Last show was mostly watercolors based on internet porn. Then there were those few years of costume cabaret/ performance art/ whatever. That was pretty fun. My last "art" was for a friend who teaches at St. Francis College somewhere in Illinois. On a discussion thing kind of like this the idea came up of a show by people who had given up on showing or making. The show was called "Failure". Sent him some home-canned tomatoes and pears.

On a personal level - no wife, kids nor job. 90-yo dad, 3 cats.

"Low traffic", huh? There have been worse reasons for worse nicks, and I've had worse. As the man said - call me anything but SOB or late for dinner.

Keep up the good work, Robin.

Michael (so far).

3 cats, hmmmm????

Be sure to visit the non art forum where us "pet parents" gush over our canines and felines.

YOU MUST SUBMIT PICS!

Hi! My name is Katherine, I'm an art therapist. (Hmmm... that sounded a bit like a confessionary statement, hehehe). I'm a bit tired, bear with me. In any case, I make art with special needs children, and also with elderly nursing home residents. I'm currently pursuing a doctorate in clinical psychology and will be starting a practicum doing art therapy at a women's center.

When I'm not toting around a cart of art materials and rather making art for myself, I like to work with mixed-media. I've been making found art compilation pieces lately. I also like to paint and work with clay. Sometimes I make jewelry. I suppose it's whatever mood or idea strikes me, I just really like to make stuff.

Otherwise, I'm getting married at the end of August, so I've been making things for that. This weekend I had a shower and made soap for the first time as thank you gifts. It was pretty fun, so I'm thinking about different scents of soap to make as future gifts.

I guess that's about all I have for now. I'd better go look read a bit for class tomorrow.

I'm Danielle. I work at Chrysler in their Archives. I am working on their digital library of photographs and documents. So, basically I scan photographs and documents, clean them up and save them where need be. Sounds easy, but try to identify cars when you are not a car person Lets just say I have learned a lot!

I graduated from Madonna University with a BA. My mediums include Photography and Lithography. I also love water color and sculpture.

I have lived in Royal Oak now for 1 1/2 years. I am engaged to be married in December and have 2 dogs (Fatty and Ox) and 2 cats (Dora and DJ).

So that is me in a nutshell

This is a fun forum!

My name is Megan and I just moved to Perrysburg, OH (a suburb of Toledo) with my boyfriend Jason. I'm 25 years old and I have 2 cats. My job is working in a group home for people with severe mental illnesses and I also go to school at Bowling Green State University.

Creating art is something very special to me. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. (It's where you have the symptoms of both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.) I started creating art in recovery to show the world what it's like to live with this illness. I try to use my art to create awareness for mental illness. Mostly I paint with acrylics, but I also like pastels.

So that's my story....

Megan
