My Bio
I have just completed an M.S. in Environmental Science with focus in Marine Geochemistry. I love to draw in my spare time which explains the lack of drawings in the past two years as I have had none of the aforementioned 'spare time'.

I grew up in Costa Rica and after enjoying a gap year in Asia this year, I hope to return to continue my research there. Aside from marine science, my passions include sports (baseball, tennis, figure skating), animals, drawing and reading.

I mostly focus on charcoal-based portraits although I am trying to step outside my comfort zone a little more in terms of medium (using pastels, colored pencils, graphite) and subject.

Hi all! I would once again like to thank everyone for the comments of support and encouragement as well as the watches.  I can't express how much I appreciate it!  I wish that I had more time to continue drawing but the times at which I'm most inspired to draw are the same ones during which I have no time to execute those inspirations. I am now halfway through my M.S. career, and it is an exciting learning experience where I get to work with great people every day and gain new skills during the analysis of my samples.  If all goes well, I hope to graduate in just under a year from now.  Fro that point, my wish is to return to Costa Rica and

*Argh*! I just wrote such a lovely journal entry and was just about to submit it when I instead clicked upon the Journal Skin button thinking that it would keep me on the page.  It did not, and as a result I lost my entry.  What a dumb way to have that set up! At least it wasn't like a 2-page long entry, merely a few paragraphs explaining my absence of late and my wonder at other people's works of art on here.  I'm not re-writing it xP Anyway, I would love to be able to thank everyone for the wonderful creations that they share and the absolute inspiration that they provide to others, such as me.  Keep up the magnificent work and keep enjoyi

Fixing Gallery

0 min read
So for some reason much of my gallery has been messed up.  The images aren't showing up although the descriptions are there.  And sometimes when I refresh the gallery you can see the thumbnails but when you open the deviation up, it's not there, it's quite odd.  So anyway, I'm fixing them now, but there really are quite a few that are like that.  I'm working my way through reuploading the drawings now--the photographs will probably take a bit longer since they're a bit more difficult to track down--otherwise, my gallery needed a bit of cleaning up and organizing anyway ;) And on other news, I've really been trying to get inspired to draw--I
