First I would like to say thank you for taking a moment to visit my profile.  I love music and people from all around the world. I am by nature a humanitarian and as I grow my paintings will show more of this.  My work has been on display in Chicago, Houston, E.A.S.T at The Carver Museum, Capital City Fine Art in Austin TX, Blues Day Studio in Lakeway TX and Mother Gallery London UK.  I offer byob painting art clases called "Paint with Me" which give me the chance to share art and how much fun it is to create. I volunteer my time and services and support a couple of Christian organizations. One for artist with disabilities calledImagine Art Studios and Circle of living Hope which is a nonprofit that  helps abused children transition out of the foster care system. These are both beautiful organizations helping our community and changing lives at the same time. I am a U.S. Navy Veteran and attended The Illinois Institute of Art of Chicago and studied Media Arts and Animation.  I have three sons that I am absolutely in love with.  If you cant tell already I am incredibly passionate about life. After a debilitating back injury that still has me in a wheelchair from time to time, that I refuse to let stop me no matter how much pain I'm in, I have learned that happiness is a choice, and I choose to embrace it.  We have one life to live so make sure you are experiencing it and not on auto pilot. Thanks again! Much love,Tawny
