I'm an ex-biochemical design engineer, ex-Avon lady, ex-marketing rep, current crossing guard, current mom, wife, artist, Christian ...Too eclectic to label and too squirrelly to stay put for long!  I enjoy painting in acrylics and mixed media - especially pets and portraits and buildings/landscapes.  My husband and I live in Northern VA with 3 wonderful teenagers who will love us again in 10 yrs. or so, I'm sure!  Right now, they all smell like goats and complain that we don't give them enough liberties.  Visit my blog...I'd love to chat with you!  www dot ArtshticksCorner dot Blogspot dot com
