| Description: | I live in the Kansas City area with my husband, tween daughter and two rescued dogs, Sirius and Luna. I was born in the South and believe that pulled pork sandwiches with slaw on them and dry-rubbed pork ribs are the only true forms of BBQ. I have a BFA in Graphic Design/Illustration from UTK. I paint pet portraits and do freelance design. I worked as an art director at ad agencies for years, but am very happy to be at home painting dogs and cats these days. |

Every time my phone rang I jumped. And I drank a lot of beer when coworkers gathered at the keg after work, trying to feel good about the place that was giving me so much anxiety. I mean a LOT of beer. I gained over thirty pounds working at that office. It wasn't a bad place to work before the evil discount store king pulled their account,
