"Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over: Gloria Naylor "

About me
My name is Lorrie, I am a 46 year old mother to a daughter and wife to Luke.
I was born and raised in Buckinghamshire in England, and did my Foundation and Diploma at Amersham College of Art, and studied Fashion/Textiles and Business Marketing at North East London University.
I did many things, lived and worked in London for a while and in the early 90's moved down to the South Coast and studying again. I became computer literate, discovered the Internet, and gained a bunch of business qualifications.
I started studying web design seriously in about 2002/2003 and left full time work to study, then in 2004 became pregnant which sort of put a break on things.
Around this time I also got back into art more, and then about two years ago joined deviantART which was a HUGE turn around for me. I began to really get back into my craft. I took up Photography again, learnt how to use Photoshop properly, bought a Wacom Intuos, and started doing a lot more traditional art. deviantART has been a fantastic experience for me and is a great place to be inspired and learn new techniques and mediums.
So, last year we bought our own house, and despite being poor are very happy...

I am what you see, no hidden agenda. I tell it how I see it. I know many people, but my friends are made for life! I believe that all creatures are entitled to their portion of life and a place in the universe! I have faith in the premise that goodness resides in some measure in all people...

OK, get up from your computer, go stand infront of your mirror and repeat after me: "Duh, na, nah, na, nah nah, You say it's your birthday! Duh, na, nah, na, nah nah, It's my birthday to yeah!"
Repeat as many times as possible until you smile, then go and have a good time!
