= ME 👩🏽
I’m more than a bird, I’m more like a nerd…
My name is Whooter. Obviously not my given name, but huzzah for internet personae! I am an artist, geek, and nerd. I absolutely love to create and make things. I currently reside in East Tennessee with my SO, our family, and a gaggle of pets.
I’ve had a lot of different experiences in my life that have played a huge factor in shaping who I am today. I studied and received my Associates Degree in Fine Arts from Andrew College in Cuthbert, GA. After Andrew College, I moved on to GA State University where I took courses in painting, ceramics, woodworking, metalworking, and bookbinding. I took a long break from pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree, but I still have a lot of passion for art. These days, my interests are varied, ranging from reading, binge-watching things online, self-care, martial arts, and video games.
This blog is a much-needed creative outlet, which I hope also gives me some focus moving forward in life. Join me as I obsess about things!
