Cat

Lets see….I was born in Ontario, Canada just west of Toronto, and made my way to the suburbs and finally the city! I’ve always considered myself a city girl, but of course, things change! My passions are many....as are my styles. I’m what you’d call a chameleon when it comes to life and I can appreciate and fit into most areas. I was blessed/cursed with being more right brained, and so I pay for my artistic talents with conditions I’d rather not get into! The good ones I consider to be my ADD, which helps me to hyper-focus on things I deem important and worthwhile (at least at the time!). This along with my intense perfectionism makes me pretty crazy at times. I’m super detail oriented! Another ‘condition’ is my ‘Synaesthesia’ which allows me to see color/shapes in music. At times, I can smell, and even taste it! This isn’t limited to music, as it’s also present with many sounds. You can imagine how it allows me to experience and compose!
I taught myself guitar at age 12, and then moved to piano. Now, I’m finding myself playing with a Roland X8 synthesizer - we’ll see if I have a knack for composing electronic music;-)

What I did/do for a living:
In the past, I have worked as a supply teacher in Toronto for elementary schools. In addition to this, I would tutor and work with those who had learning disabilities and behavioral problems. I specialized with children who were ADD/ADHD. After a couple of years, I moved on to work at a special school for the severely physically and mentally challenged. I quit after sometime, to my dismay, after I developed anemia and a slight case of lead poisoning and was apartment stranded and quite ill for almost a year. It was in this year that I learned I liked to work from home:-D
At this time I have a small web hosting company, and do web design on the side. I also specialize in hair extensions and I like to keep up to date on the current method celebrities have! I do photography as well and I am available for most events, pet photography, portraits, and more.
Besides that, Bryan and I operate a small business where we do custom photo charms for our customers. Check out our links to find out more....or CLICK HERE for our main site.
