Hello! I don't always dress like this but totally wish I could! This was taken for an art project in my apartment. I LOVE old Hollywood!

I currently live in Chicago and this is pretty much what it looks like 60% of the time. Here I am with my adorable pooch, William! Trust me...he's happier than he looks!

This is my awesomely hysterical little brother, Ryan, and me before a 3d movie! No, we're not wearing 80's shades because we like them...

Here I am in a real vintage dress from the 1940's at an art event in downtown Chicago with my very handsome boyfriend, Patrick!

This is my little living room in downtown Chicago! I'm crazy about chandeliers, coffee table books, and my old snuggly orange couch!

It's Friday night and time to go see some art! My friends always tease me because of my abnormal adoration of glittery mother-of-the-bride jackets, 80's sequin party dresses, faux fur, big hats, and shiny belts

Pretty much every morning, I roll my carpet in my living room back over my coffee table so I can do a cheesy exercise DVD

Pretty much every morning, I roll my carpet in my living room back over my coffee table so I can do a cheesy exercise DVD ...and this is what I look like afterwards....YES! This means it's time for breakfast!

I LOVE breakfast and pretty much eat the same thing every day: 2 veggie "sausage" patties, egg whites, a multi-vitamin, and LOTS of ketchup! If I don't eat breakfast, I turn into a MONSTER- my friends call it "T-Rexing" or "rexing" for short...

This is the OTHER thing I have to have in the mornings to keep me from turning into a monster- I call it "Quiet Time" (I sound like a toddler) but it's my prayer time and Bible study/journaling time...my loved ones can actually call me out for not having one if I've got a snappy attitude!

Look! We're back to food again! I like to take homemade lunches to Patrick at school- here we are with peaches in the sculpture garden by the school of the Art Institute of Chicago- where we both go/went to grad school

This is me all dressed up in my awesome studio at SAIC just before graduating. Yes, I'm messy in my studio! That's how you can tell I'm being productive! You know you wish you had that pink boa!

Since graduating, I now work out of my bedroom. I laid huge slabs of smooth masonite on the ground so I could make a mess- as you can see here- without worry! This is a self-portrait I was working on

This, on the other hand, is Patrick's fantastic studio at SAIC! You can see the lake and part of Millennium Park and also an awesome gargoyle just outside hte left window. Patrick is in the Art & Technology Department

This is an older picture of a crazy performance we did in my old studio at SAIC. I think I like pink...and spray tans!

My family and best friend live in Oklahoma so we drive back to see them frequently. There's Willie's jowls flappin' in the breeze!
9469741
Here's my awesome family at my graduation- don't be fooled- it was definitely NOT my brother who got that MFA diploma, I just make him hold it for the photo...couldn't twist my wrist the right way to hold it myself. I LOVE THEM!

I recently went back to OK to celebrate my Grandpa's 90th birthday. Here is my mom, dad, brother, aunt Jane, Grandparents and Patrick at our home. No, I'm not wearing pajamas...no matter what my brother says...
9469751
My best friend, Kara, came to the birthday festivities too! She is the BEST- I've known her for years!
9469756
Here I am with Kara and her gilded sister, Ann, on top of the John Hancock building on a Friday night. Ann is a fantastic graphic designer and Kara is just plain fantastic...mainly because she has dimples and blues eyes, and I don't

In my downtime, I painted this portrait of regal William dressed to the nines at a summertime shindig! Its gouache, acrylic, and collage on paper...it may be my favorite piece right now!
9469766
Here I am next to one of my big Sharpie on paper pieces called "The Last Supper" at a show this summer in Chicago. It's a comical twist of the Bible story and a soap opera

Does this really need any explanation I mean, come on, look at how good my turn out is!
