About Steph

By day: Webmistress: Myrcury's Toybox

Describes themself as: I was born in Rhode Island, but left at a young age and so I only remember it as a place with lots of relatives and really awesome ice cream! I like to say that I‘ve been drawing and creating ever since I was old enough to pick up a crayon (one of those big fat ones they gave us to use in kindergarten, remember?) Its probably true! As a kid, I took a few awards with my artwork, and sometimes I even manage to achieve a few cool things now that I’m a big kid, too! (See below!)

Nobody in my family knows quite where my love of art came from, but my love of creating handmade things came from my Grandmother, who was an amazing quilter, fantastic with plastic canvas, and the person who taught me how to make something from nothing, or take something old and turn it into something new!

I’m a self-taught artist, but I plan to attend school for formal art training as soon as I can. When I grow up, I want to be a character designer, that is, create the characters that get passed on to the next guy to get animated! I always hope that others enjoy my works of art and craft as much as I enjoy creating them. I love seeing smiling faces in response to my artistic efforts!

Personal Interests: “People watching,” sending and receiving mail, sunny days with a cool breeze, playing with my two dogs, collecting Pez dispensers, anything colorful or rainbow-patterned, browsing art online, space exploration, The Muppets, long rambling phone conversations, learning new things, making people smile and laugh, and trying to come up with ways to save the world!

Artistic Interests: Artists: Frida Kahlo, Craig McCracken, M.C. Escher, and Glen Keane Styles: Just about everything creative! :D
