I Am Excited!

One of the things on my to-do list was to start my own blog. I am able to sit behind a computer and keep in touch with friends both near and far.

I probably need to explain the title of my blog. It is a fairly long story, but I will try to be brief. I was able to take a digital art class at our local university for free and one of the assignments was to design something that was both symbolic and yet meaningful. For some reason, all my life I have always loved the four seasons. I came up with four digital pictures and wrote "144 Seasons" across the middle of the art piece. The "144 Seasons" was the amount of time that my father had lived before he died. The reason why saying "144 seasons" was so important to me was because at the time of taking the class, I had also lived the same amount of seasons.



I was able to use the same concept with the title of my graduate portfolio - "Nine Seasons." Sometimes it sounds better to say it only took me nine seasons to complete my masters than almost three years.
