About Me

I was born in March in the land down under. I am the oldest of three children in my family, with my dad being French and my mum from New Zealand. We moved to the States (now living in Texas) seven-eight years ago. I've never been to school in the States, but I attended kindergarden and 1st grade in Sydney. Last year my siblings and I went to France to attend school for that year (I was in 4eme: 8th grade). I will be going back again next year into 3eme (9th)too, so not to lose my French.

I am:

• an arist
• a tomboy
• capable to speak American english, Australian english and French
• absolutely lacking taste in fashion
• a nailbiter
• playing two instruments (piano and flute)
• affectionate and skeptical

Becoming the Anime Freak

I got into anime 3 years ago while watching the forever kid famous "Pokemon"(Animal like creatures with amazing powers that people called trainers catch and have them fight against a rival Pokemon). At that time, I was a computer nerd (but I still am), and would spend day in day out searching for Pokemon information on the internet. While reading about the art style, I found that Pokemon was a japanese animation called Anime. I didn't care about that...yet.

One day, while looking around in the library, I so happened to be in the artbook section. I don't know how, but I vaguely remember pulling out a artbook labeled "How To Draw Anime" (by Christopher Hart). I opened the book and read the intro page. Anime? I've seen that word somewhere before...

Taking the book home, I started drawing, drawing and drawing. My mother bought me lots of sketch books, which I never finished half way. As my drawing grew, so did my interest in anime. I bought new artbooks, started watching more anime (such as Cardcaptor Sakura, Angelic Layer, Inuyasha...), and discovered manga.

Well, to wrap a long story short, ever since I started drawing, I have not stopped. I'm still discovering new things each day and I find that my artwork also improving.
