Additional Information
I worked as a RN over several years at different hospitals. I experience health related issues that have now been resolved for 13 years. I became a single mom in 2015, and did a variety of jobs from home so that I could raise my children and be present for them. I am an artist and have sold my artwork for income. I have pieces hanging in three businesses. I teach friends and family the techniques of art creation, including acrylic pour painting, oil and acrylic painting, drawing, mural work, resin art, crochet, and sewing. I have cared for older adults when requested, assisting with activities of daily living and helping them through illness. I give presentations at senior centers, in a variety of topics. I use architectural software to draw plans for construction projects that get permits. I have gained a lot of skills over the past 8 years, working mostly at home. What I enjoy the most is creating and teaching art.
