Sho- I went to University of Montevallo (in Alabama) it s a public liberal arts university but has a great art department.. We have an anagama kiln and the largest printing (litho) press in the state. I enjoyed art school but it was tough. I ended up staying and getting my M.ed so that I could teach. I looked at SCAD, but it was waaaay too expensive for me.
Again, great paintings, and I love to see another art person on the forums :)

Re: Other Hobbies!
I game so hard.....power lifting, comic book nerd, and I have a hobby of keeping these really awesome things called my kids.
In the interest of updating the list of hobbies I mentioned here, this is my current time suck of a hobby. Everyone saw 'aww'. Everyone also appreciate how relaxing and nondemanding reptiles are.
Photography and dogs are really my two main hobbies, but much more so dogs. I compete in/train for several different sports with my kiddos as well as board and train dogs on occasion.
My main sport of focus is Mondioring (bitesport) but my current dog doesn't have the temperament for really intense bitework, he enjoys it doing it with people he knows though. So I'm planning on getting a working line German Shepherd here shortly to pursue the sport further with. So for Dakota, we mainly do Splash Dogs (dock jumping) since there's quite a few competitions for it up here. He's been the pro-divisional vertical winner at the national championships for the last two years. : )
EATING! (Not making, because I can't cook. Although on occasion I bake, but this was from a restaurant. And it was magnificent. A belated birthday dinner after I had food poisoning on my actual birthday this past year).
Advocating for sexual health + sexual health education, as well as an LGBTQ ally :)
I couldn't find a picture for this, so I just put a picture of a book I am currently reading... I also like to read. When I'm not swamped with school readings and papers. I am entering my 4th and final year, getting an Honours Arts degree in Sexuality, Marriage, and Family studies - with a focus on sexuality, no wonder. I am also a volunteer with a very popular Canadian sexual health organization (cannot name names) and will be starting a double practicum work term with a local HIV/AIDS committee in town as well!
And last but certainly not least, spending time with my wonderful partner AND being at my beloved camp, where I practically grew up. I should also mention my best friend (who shares the same first name as me, oddly enough) is not pictured here, but it's where we met when we were in diapers and have since been keeping a long distance friendship for... 19ish years. We've never lived in the same province before, let alone town! But we see each other at camp every summer. Our cabins are almost next to each other. :)
Thanks for looking/reading (I know it was a lot)! :gj:

Re: Other Hobbies!
My other "hobby" is eating right & staying motivated to exercise 4 or 5 days of the week.
As a former weight watchers leader & 10 year lifetime member it's still a struggle for me sometimes.
It's not really a hobby but it's an important part of my daily life. Nothing better than feeling HEALTHY & Fit.
