My Bio

(Last Updated: February 2nd, 2013 - I was literally a child when I wrote this profile and uploaded stuff, lol Enjoy the cringe.)


I suffer the joys of being trapped in a constant state of wonder. I'm always trying new mediums and evolving my philosophy on life; create, learn, repeat. I love that which I don't understand -- be it language and music, thoughts, ideas, math & science, etc.... foreign cultures fascinate me. As do sharks (for whatever reason).


I adore the DA community and the conversations that I get to have around here. I'm overly-zealous and hideously sentimental, etc. etc.


My art is what it wants to be. I consider myself a surrealist/psychedelic artist at heart, but I dabble in a little of everything. Feel free to contact me if you have questions about my creative services or life itself~!

Recovery sucks

0 min read
Recovering from elbow surgery.  They really downplay how much work that actually entails, ha! :P Surgery was a success, tho this past year has worn on my arms quite a bit.  I imagine a good portion of 2016 will be spent trying to fix them.  4 more weeks in a brace, a few months more of physical therapy.... Still doing shows every month (3 this month!) so that's always fun. Moral of the Story: Take caution with your art... there is such a thing as painting, drawing and writing too much!! :') Take it easy. Meditate. Thanks for support! Moira

Yes yes, Elbow surgery tomorrow. Life is a mess. But my spirit is well. I should be able to make art again next year! ;) I actually can paint, but general pain has made me apathetic towards doing anything this past few months.  I am finishing a large request tonight as my last piece before surgery ....it gives me hope! So long as the surgery and recovery goes well, I think I'm already good to hold paintbrushes again. :) What might take longer is getting adjusted to typing ..... sucks right now..... Regardless, happy new year! Happy holidays! Much love.... -Moira
