Me and Emily and Ella I'm 29 years old and have been drawing since forever. I'm mostly self-taught, though I took a few art classes here and there. I was born and raised near Seattle Washington and moved to California in 2006 seeking meaningful work and more consistant sunshine. After starting out as a residential volunteer on a teaching farm in the Central Valley I'm now in the San Francisco Bay Area working on a small goat dairy and also as a certified massage therapist. Both jobs keep me pretty physical and I love them even though nowadays I'm often too pooped to draw after a day (or night!) at work. But inspiration still strikes me from time to time!
I have always been a fangirl, moving from one pop culture obsession to the next with varying degrees of frequency. I often site the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as my first fandom at approximately age 9, though if I go back even further it was probably something like the Smurfs or Rainbow Brite, heheh.... fan art makes up the bulk of my art, but from time to time I'll do something original - right now my main focus is goats. See the section below for more about them!

I adore goats, especially Nubians. Right now I own 6 goats (4 purebred Nubians and 2 Boer/Nubian crosses) and am in the process of getting registered with the American Dairy Goat Association. I have dreams of having my own little herd of Nubians and possibly doing a small raw milk dairy or teaming with a cheesemaker. I love my goats very much, and it is of vital importance to me that they have long, productive lives followed by a well-deserved, luxurious retirement. It is also very important to me for people to understand what dairy means for the animals and environment and the problems with modern conventional large-scale dairying (and agriculture in general, for that matter...). More about my goaty dreams can be learned at Does in Repose.

Gabby (DOB 2003), my favorite goat in the whole world. I plan on getting at least one more doeling from her to form the foundations of my own herd. Pedigree Info.	Becky-Jo (DOB 2006, Gabby's daughter). Not yet registered, I hope to make her the first goat registered under my very own herd name. Pretty decent little milker! Dam Pedigree, Sire Pedigree.
Emily (DOB 2006). Not a great milk producer by any stretch of the imagination, but healthy, sturdy, good mothering skills and she has a great temperment. Might be worth keeping kids from for those traits, if I can improve the milk production a bit! Pedigree Info.	Ella (DOB 2005, half sister to Emily). Also not a great milk producer, but like Emily is a super easy keeper, sturdy and healthy, and also has a great temperment. Poor mothering skills, though. If bred to the right buck, might have doelings worth keeping. Pedigree Info.
Taco (DOB 2004), unregistered Boer/Nubian. I have no idea about her genetics, but I know that's she's a super easy keeper, sturdy, healthy and nice temperment. Unfortunately she has mastitis damage to her udder, so I'm not sure what potential her kids may have.	Sparkle (DOB 2003, half sister to Taco), unregistered Boer/Nubian. Like Taco, her genetic background is a mystery. Sparkle is retired from kidding and milking now, due to fairly serious arthritis in her front legs. Which is a shame, because she was herd queen back in her day, a good mom and not a bad milker!
