Shyll-j

I’m a right brained person what can I say, I must create.


I’ve dabbled through-out the years in all sorts of media, be it drawing, painting or writing. But until recently I never had the time to pursue art via full expression. Then art met technology and now graphic artistry is my personal choice as I find the possibilities endless.

I’m interested in life---and all that entails from the sublime to the ordinary, as I realize adventures provide wonderful opportunities, simply being provides not only balance, but bliss. I’m blessed with a lovely family that supports and challenges me. I’m extremely curious and because of this, I love learning via every avenue possible, be it reading, writing or observation. As an incurable romantic-- regardless of the trials and tribulation, I still believe in happy endings.
