7.  What do you like best about blogging?
All the wonderful people I have met through blogging. WP is such a great community.  I have met so many really creative artists through WP all over the world.  And they are all so supportive of me and my art.  Truly, an amazing community. ❤

8. Who is your favorite character in a novel or film and why do you like him/her so much?
Daine from the The Immortal Series books by Tamora Pierce.  They are actually written for the teen market, but I love all of her books.  I fell in love with them when my daughter ordered one from scholastic in grade school.  I read it to make sure it was age appropriate. I especially love the character Daine as she has the power to talk to and heal animals.  She can even shift her shape and become an animal. Way cool…

9. What one piece of advice would you give your younger self?
Spend a few minutes every day with YOUR art.  I know I was busy with life and I had a fabulous portrait photography career, but I wish I had spent more time creating art for myself on my terms. It brings me such joy now that I do it all the time.

10. Which Disney Fairy do you think resembles you the most in personality?
FAWN.  A rough and tumble tomboy.  Yep, that’s me.  Plus her favorite treat is melted acorn butter on anything.  I love my Trader Joe’s almond butter on just about anything. Seriously, don’t get between me and my almond butter! 🙂
