Thank you... to those who have inspired me.

DEHughes - Digital artist, writer, and personal friend whose talent I very much admire.  Thank you for believing in me and always encouraging me to believe in myself.  You're the reason that I remembered to shine.  I will forever be grateful.  

Kelly Rae Roberts - An artist whose work I have come to love and admire.  It was her work that inspired me to start playing around with mixed media pieces.  Which I've used to try to inspire others to believe in themselves.  And she taught me about being a possibilitarian.  

Last, but not least... my beautiful sister.  Anita or Kellianstar Blue as she was known to some.  She had an amazing life force.  A smile that could light up the room.  Don't get me wrong, she could also be a major pain in the ass.  She passed away March 27, 2013 after a life long struggle with depression and bipolar.  We were sisters by choice, not by blood.  We became best friends in elementary school and had our ups and downs.  We lost touch for awhile and came back together.  She was my person (if you are a Grey's Anatomy fan you'll understand what that means).  We went through so much together.  "Woogie, woogie, woogie!!"  

She helped encourage my painting in the beginning when it started.  After she saw the first painting I did and she fell in love with what she called "the bowling pin people".  Love you bunches, miss you more.
