about me. Born in southern California in 1982, I moved back and forth with my family several times, living in Maryland, California, and Arizona.  While attending Biola University in La Mirada, California I met Clint Stringfellow and we dated through out school.  After graduation, we got married.  Currently, I am working as a designer and receptionist and graphic artist in Yorba Linda, California.

I have been drawing and painting since I was very little.  My parents always encouraged me to pursue my art, and have always been my biggest fans.  I started with canyons and markers, graduated to drawing with pencil and colored pencil before discovering the joys of digital art in 2001.  I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop 7, and fell madly in love. Shortly afterward, I bought my first tablet, a 20.00 discontinued version from some unknown company off ebay. It was cheap and not very sensitive, but it was light years ahead of my mouse.  I eventually upgraded to a Wacom tablet, and thought I had died and gone to heaven.  I have been using it to create my digital paintings every since.

Clay has been a long time love of mine. I discovered Scupley in elementary school and used it to make all kinds of fun little creatures, particularly dragons.   During college, I lost touch with my passion for clay. But in 2005, stumbled across some wonderful clay artists on the internet and realized what a wonderful art form it was. I began sculpting little fairies and elf, and found out how addicting it can be! 

I have just recently return to an old love, painting with acrylics. I am always amazed at how much I've learned about painting though playing with my computer. A lot does translate back and forth, more than I would image.
