June 1, 2003 through July 1, 2003

Ever since I can remember I have loved to draw. And when I was asked in school what I wanted to be when I grew up I always replied "A Famous Artist". As a child I would get into trouble for drawing on the walls. After a night spent washing the paint off, I resolved never to have my art erased again. My mother bought me a pad of assorted colored pencils construction paper a glue stick and a pair of lefty scissors. After that there was no stopping me. When I am not at home in my studio, I can usually be found scavenging the streets of San Francisco looking for interesting collage material or Snowboarding in Tahoe, weather permitting of course. What began with getting in trouble for drawing on the wall has turned into a career and a lifestyle. I sometime still draw and paint on my walls. I do what I love I can’t think of anything better. I help people solve problems using my creativity. If I can help you, please give me a ring or drop me a line. Cindy Ann
