Butterfly Bay Design / Mindless Pursuits' photostream  

I am 40 years old and the very proud father of two little girls, ages 7 and 10. I’m single and live with my 5-year-old cat Lexi in an apartment in the ever-changing seasonality of Minnesota in the United States of America.

What artistic endeavors do I undertake? I love to paint. Mostly flowers as they make me happy but I also love to work on landscapes and am occasionally returning to my roots as an abstract painter though I choose not to share much of those creations publicly. I sew and love to make everything from costumes to formal-wear to accessories. I also cross-stitch, crewel embroidery, paint enamels on glass, pottery (though I have no kiln to fire anything in), wood-burning, scrapbooking and knitting! I love to learn new creative skills and so am continually trying to expand my repertoire!
