Hello everyone! My introduction : )

Hi, My name is Amanda 😃
So, I did a video, I've never done a video, which is funny because I talk to myself a lot, so I felt like the camera was eavesdropping lol. My apologies for the quality. For even more information you can read down below 😊

And now, to elaborate some more about myself:

So to start off, and get out of the way, something I think everyone should know because it makes me feel better and lowers my inhibitions. I am a HUGE procrastinator, a major hermit and homebody, and a functioning recovering hoarder (I might be over exaggerating being a hoarder, but I've been jokingly referred to one several times).

In my responsible adult time I work with people with intellectual disabilities. I am a mother of an eight year old boy💗 who has ADHD, and also will be getting married late this year. 💘

A painting I did trying to learn how to use acrylics

I am trying to practice with traditional media and have also started working on digital art. So, I have a lot on my plate to learn and then I have technique to work on, on top of that.

Here's a little drawing I did to hang by my desk, I intend to make it a bigger piece, I have no rights to the original picture I used as reference, just to put that disclaimer out.

Art has taken me to different interests. I love tarot cards! The artwork is wonderful, as well as the idea of how to read them. Also Magic the Gathering, I have a decent collection. I have thought about trying to do some alters in the future. I don't play quite as much since I was throwing WAY too many funds out for them. It's a very addictive game! So, I keep my collection and play casually every so often. The artwork in MTG is amazing, I unfortunately have collected more cards for the artwork than I have for the abilities. I suppose prints would be cheaper but I wouldn't have enough wall space.

🎸 I also play guitar, and piano (keyboard). I don't know the piano very well, I can read music, so I learn a song I like and then forget about playing for months at a time. I like to keep my mind busy. 🎹 My poor son gets his attention problems from me obviously.

📺 Hmm, what else, television. Until my fiance and I moved in together, I never really watched television because I get too obsessed with shows. Now we have Netflix and it's been quite the inner battle. I think after a period of time binge watching things, I have found a balance.
