About Bliss

Hi :).

I'm Bliss.

Though this blog was created as part of a class requirement, I've loved art since I was able to hold a pencil in my hand. I've been a pro artist since I was fifteen. Until recently I haven't been too interested in painting, but I've taken up acrylics and I'll let you all know how that turns out, lol. My favorite media are pencil, charcoal and pastel.

Artistry is in my blood--I think. That saying is an odd one. There should only be red blood cells, platelets and all that jazz in my blood.

Anyhoo....

Moving along (sorry, I have the attention span of a goldfish :) ), my paternal grandmother could draw and paint, and my father is primarily an oil painter and mother a watercolor painter, among other media. Even though I was surrounded by the craft from an early age, I never actually sought out lessons or direction from them. I guess it just seemed normal enough to ignore or something, lol. Simply put, I'm not trained in art, so go easy on me if I say something straight up stupid, haha. I try :).

Besides all of that art stuff I'm a multimedia journalist from the midwest. I'm about to get my degree in journalism in a few months, and am basically pretty excited about it. I'm "technically" a broadcast student, but am 110 percent interested in how the web is used to deliver news. In fact, I'm a web editor and front end web developer at a local television station (still make minimum wage though. #fail.) I hope to become a broadcast and web reporter and/or producer, all the while creating artwork along the way.

Thanks for stopping by!

Love, peace & gesso

P.S. Almost forgot, one of my sisters is an artist as well. Hopefully I get a chance to feature her here soon.
