My FINAL USERNAME is UncouthCat, but dA won't let me change it x)
Hey, my name is Colleen! I am an artist and Master Esthetician living in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have been an artist all of my life, but only really got serious about it in middle school. After high school, I took some community college courses like Foundations (of drawing) 1 & 2, Figure Drawing, Advanced Figure Drawing, Design, and a Digital Media Course. As well as some other classes. After realizing that being an artist is HARD and making money doing art is HARD, I decided to become an Esthetician. I actually love my career choice! Utah is overflowing with Estheticians (and dentists), however and the COVID-19 panic is literally spreading across the nation. So until that all settles down, my career has come to a halt and it's time to go back to art!
During my time at SLCC, I made friends and helped start a local artists community. I would recommend this to everyone! The group is very active online and brings so many people together. It's really fun and is a great way to network in your community.
So to summarize, HI I'm Colleen, I've been on dA for a long time, made so many friends who I have no idea what they're up to right now. I started a career that wasn't art to support my art and now I'm doing art to support myself because the nation and the world is in a panic. THE IRONY!
