FanArtReview.com - Written In The Cosmos by Angelheart

It wasn't until 2007 that I finally decided to join FAR.I had kept an eye on it off and on for about 6 months and thought I would give it a try.I joined to show my photography.It didn't take me long to see that in the photography category there were way too many perfectionists and professionals,quick to say what was wrong but leaving me no feedback to right the wrong.But that's okay because had they not done that,I would never have taught myself digital art.I used absolutely no books,manuals,tutorials...NOTHING.I learned by trial and error and can now get around almost any graphics program.
In 2007,when I joined,I was awarded a trophy for 2nd Place in Digital Art.2008 I was awarded a trophy for 3rd place in Digital Art and 2009 brought me another 3rd place win.Who knows what this year will bring!
I have many fans of my work at our sister site FanStory who use my work as illustration for their writing.I also work on my art a lot,as I became disabled in 1999 with fibromyalgia and degenerative spinal arthritis.
Before that,I worked 30 years for a large Marketing Research firm in Chicago.
I have 2 grown sons with successful businesses of their own and between the two of them I have been blessed with 6 grandchildren and very soon to be 3 great-grandchildren.3 of the grandchildren live by me and the others live in Illinois.I also have a few names that I am called by them."Grandma Nancy","Gma","Nana" & "Graham Cracker"
That's quite a story but the name was given to me by my oldest grandson when he was a little guy.I have a brother 10 years younger who nicknamed me "Sid Slick" and here I am "Angelheart" or "Angel" and sometimes by my real name,"Nancy"
Talk about an identity crisis!!
Lastly,I like to use my hair as a color palette,as you can see in my photo.Normalcy is okay for some but I am one that likes to march to the beat of my own drum.
