HI!

Welcome, you sound like you are starting on the right track. Delightful at you will be teaching art. One of my hobbies. I try, but not good, but I love the art I buy. Love originals for fun, not a fan of numbered prints, but do have a collection of Edna Hibel' s artist proofs that Hubby and I love. She was famous for her mother and children, but we selected her other pieces. Hubby became infatuated with her when we went to her showings in West Palm Beach. She had a demonstration and Hubby walked up to her afterward and was talking to her. She reached up and gave him a great big hug.

Welcome to the team. Good luck with your goals.

I'm Ren, Studio 54 here! :D

I am an artist and just about to get my license to teach art K-12. My weight skyrocketed this year in addition to having so much more pain than ever. Prediabetic to boot. Menopause! you even just LOOK at a baked good and BAM on comes 34 lbs! Holy moly! not fair but working to gently nip this thing in the bud so I can enjoy life again. I also go to OA meeeting which help. Its just so crazy hard to move this much mass around but I have started yoga and walking every day, the first few yoga classes were TORTURE (and I WAS a yoga teacher! but in a different body!) but this past week's were actually enjoyable. Mostly. PRogress.I have 2 kitties that I love, one who is my constant friend, and 2 little poodles, 2 grown boys and one not so grown up boy who is my husband. 8)
Nice to meet you all. Looking forward to makign some pals. Warm regards! :)
