Introduction of Myself
Let me introduce myself, I'm Anna (Silme_Ethel on Gaia), I am here for 3 years, more or less, still searching for my perfect avatar. Following your directions in the thread I will tell you a bit more about myself. My goal in life is to be an artist, well, I think I'm already one, but I would like to be acknowledged one. I'm practising photography, drawing and print-making right now. I've tried painting, and I love, but for now it's too time consuming. I've also created a clay sculpture, which apparently was so dreadful, that it somehow didn't get through moving out of my home to my term-time address. I've finished an art college with quite good grades, it allowed me to continue my education and I chose to study in Cambridge. I've just started my second year of photography here, and I dearly love it. The biggest problem I have is money so far, I am working as a cleaner in mornings 6 times a week, before my uni starts. The money is pretty little, but with all the crisis around I should be happy I have so much.
I love everything related to art; exhibition, art books, postcards, magazines and basically all art collectibles I can put my hands on. I would say I collect knowledge, I dream about being a teacher one day; art teacher in a college or at uni. Well, this is how I normally introduce myself, more or less.
Anna
PS: Being on Gaia allows that kind of freedom; I am not afraid to talk about personal stuff with people I have little chance to meet in real life. :3
