I have always loved art, but I have not always been an artist.  After graduating from West Point in 2000, I served five years in the Army in the Signal branch.  I spent most of my Army time at Fort Campbell in Kentucky with 101st Airborne Division.  I worked in several great units including 5-101 Aviation, 501st Signal and 2-17 CAV.  I loved the people I met and the challenge of the job, but when my husband and I decided to have children we also decided that one of us should always consistently be there for them.  PRESTO!  I am now a stay at home mom...
