My Hero


This lady. I can't even begin to explain the role that Gammie has in my life. She's been there for me through anything & everything. She is by far the wisest person I've ever met, the funniest too. She always knows what to say & when to say nothing. She introduced me to art. She's my one of my biggest supporters, motivators and best friends. I don't know where I'd be without her. 

Its been really hard to be away from her - living in Milwaukee. We've found ways to stay close. We constantly write each other letters, which she signs with xxxxooooxoxxoxoxo - gammie & feels the need to send me $5.00 :) . We talk on the phone - she scolds me for not answering (even if I'm in class).  And if Rachele is at her house, we FaceTime...but this mostly just consists of us making funny faces at each other. I guess what I'm getting at is that I'm so grateful to have her in my life.

Class Update!




I just had a freaking awesome day with my art. I love those days...they seriously make me realize that I love what I'm doing. This piece was done in my Drawing 102 class in 45 minutes in charcoal. We're currently focusing on local tones. This class is teaching me a lot...especially considering that my professor is very technical. Yay for learning!
