this is ME

cards from the girlies..yep, this is me

I am Tori... creator of art, mother of children, mentor of teenagers, spiritual seeker, pleasure hound, mistake maker, investor in what counts, shoulder shrugger at what does not.
This journey kicks ass when it's not kicking my ass.

ready for work

My mission..in a nutshell (I am super long winded when it comes to telling the world what I want to do in mine)..I am making it my business to shine my light once and for all. I am and always will be an artist. I can't do conventional things so the world will have to keep space open for things that are of mixed color and style. Mixing and matching ethnicity and color schemes (what are those?) is what I do best. I wish to become a better teacher and urge the SHiNe out of anyone who will put a paint brush in their hand. I am drawn to alternative/indie style and using what I got to make magic happen. The darker sides of people intrigue me..for that is where you see the brightest light..if you look..really close.
I will sing and dance my art and bring it forth to the world with a vengeance.
