"I'm a CNC machinist, but I do graphic design too: T-shirts, mugs, stickers, logos, other stuff. My artistic side comes from my mom. She was an artist, a painter. She did canvas work but also hand-painted little girls' hair bows and was involved in a lot of craft fairs.  She had that free, creative spirit.  We spent a lot of time together because she worked from home, and she always encouraged and supported my efforts. She was always there for me. But then she got sick. She didn't want to go to the doctor because she didn't have good insurance, so by the time they found her cancer, it was already too advanced. She passed away four years ago. It was definitely the toughest time of my life.  I didn't think I'd ever want to do art again. I gave it up for a long time, but I'm finally rediscovering it. When I draw now, when I design things, I feel connected to my mom, like she's still with me, even though she isn't."
