30-something - getting close to 40-something; full-time mom, part-time art student at RISD; trying to live simply & cut down on the clutter/excesses of life (esp. toys!); constantly trying to enrich my life & become a better and more interesting person. Oh, and this bug is a spitting ground beetle, scientific name: calosoma auropunctatum, that I painted in a class at RISD. I love bugs.
I've been looking at this little monkey for months. He needs a home other than my tiny little studio. You can bid on him here.
I will be donating 10% of the purchase price to a Portland, ME organization called A Company of Girls, whose mission is to strengthen and empower youth and the community through the arts.
