Bio: I am a compulsive creative who transcends colour coordination, a grandmother and a bass music dj who makes most of her won clothes, hats and stuff. I paint, with brushes, like a woman possessed with a wild look in my eye that will not be tamed when in the flow. I paint backdrops for parties, on wood, on canvas, on anything I can get my hands on, normally at least 4-20 things at a time and mostly in acrylics.
