The treeple “family tree”

(A viewing of Elise’s scribbles)

When I was young, I always loved to draw, but I never did much more than fill personal sketchbooks, doodle on homework margins, and create the occasional poster for school. My Liberal Arts college had a unique approach to general education requirements, as I was required to take one art class. I chose a drawing class, and I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. Then, in my senior year of college, I decided to take a photography class for fun and I loved it! Since college, I’ve dabbled in semi-professional photography, but mainly for friends and family. I still do a bit of sports and portrait photography when I have time. I also enjoy cross-stitch crafts. Creating is just a part of me.  

As I have tapped into my creative writing side, my artistic side has blossomed. I have enjoyed designing a few elements of the fantasy world I’ve created. 

I look forward to the day when I can collaborate with a professional artist to create character art and a stunning book cover. It would be a dream come true to have my characters brought to life. Until then, enjoy just a taste of the symbols that I designed to identify the seven different family trees within The Treeple tribe.
