Description Extraterrestrial life (from the Latin words: extra ['beyond', or 'not of'] and terrestris ['of or belonging to Earth']) is defined as life that does not originate from Earth. It is often also referred to as alien life, or simply aliens (or space aliens, to differentiate from other definitions of alien or aliens). These hypothetical forms of life range from simple bacteria-like organisms to beings far more complex than humans. The development and testing of hypotheses on extraterrestrial life is known as exobiology or astrobiology; the term astrobiology, however, includes the study of life on Earth viewed in its astronomical context. Nonetheless, scientists at the National Institutes of Health reported studies that life in the universe may have begun '9.72.5 billion years ago', billions of years before the Earth was formed, based on extrapolating the 'genetic complexity of organisms' [from 'major phylogenetic lineages'] to earlier times. Many scientists consider extraterrestrial life to be plausible, but there is no direct evidence of its existence. Since the mid-20th century, there has been an ongoing search for signs of extraterrestrial life, from radios used to detect possible extraterrestrial signals, to telescopes used to search for potentially habitable extrasolar planets. It has also played a major role in works of science fiction. Credit Wiki

I was born in Ohio but have lived in many different states throughout my life. My Mom often kidded about having gypsy blood and although it made schooling difficult, I got to experience the melting pot of culture in the USA. She also instilled in me a love of Nature's landscapes and all of her critters. Mother Nature is the ultimate artist.
I am a dreamer and believe in all possibilities. Pixie dust creates magic and sometimes there really is a troll under that bridge. Art in all of it's forms has always fascinated me and I am self taught in all of the mediums I use. My favorite art mediums are computer graphics 3D and texture I also love painting with acrylics. I do some pyrography from time to time and other various crafts. Most of my art is considered fantasy or surrealism however I do love vintage and the just plain unusual.
I've painted large trompe l'oeil murals and scenery backdrops as well as pyrography and acrylics on canvas and wood. I am currently working on more additions to add to my galleries in the near future.
Being creative opens all the mind's doors and allows the imagination to flow. I believe that you should live everyday of your life enjoying what you do.
