Sleepygirl

About me:

Sleepygirl is a many faceted individual, a Libra cannot be otherwise. Always seeking balance but, as with all things, every action creates an equal and opposite reaction...so the dance continues every day.

This page was originally intended to be used for my business blog, but lately the theme has been leaning more toward my real passions, the Arts and Animal Welfare...so I defer to my subconscious and am allowing the change of focus.

I am. A freelance graphic designer, virtual tour photographer and publicist, Board Member of the City of NPR's Cultural Affairs Advisory Committee, working to create a cultural center out of the Orange Lake Baptist Church property purchased by the City last year, working with various musicians and artists in the area to promote their work and expand their careers all while seeking personal growth and balance in my every day life.


Support your local artists; ask for original music at your local music venues, festivals and events, seek out visual artists when you're thinking of adding a decorative piece to your business, home or garden and ask your kid's schools to put more of an emphasis on the arts (i.e. creative thinking!)

Arts-centric businesses represent 4.3 percent of all U.S. businesses and 2.2 percent of all jobs. Nationally, there are more than 612,000 arts-related businesses that employ nearly 3 million people. Employment growth by arts-centric businesses since 2007 was 11.6 percent -- more than four times the rise in the total number of U.S. employees of 2.4 percent.
