I was born in the spring of 1960.\nI\u2019ve drawn and painted pictures throughout my teen years and twenties. I won my first art contest at age seventeen at the state fair. \nI\u2019m a poet, artist, proud momma, proud granny, one with nature and God. I have a need to seek out the emotional creatively that an artist\u2019s express. From other artist\u2019s creations I can feel their joy, pain, sorrow\u2026. it can be a celebration of life that I\u2019ll feel from an image. I can see and feel it as it can be a suffering hole still lost in darkness UN a wear of one\u2019s self pain. What drives them to pick their palette and embark on an empty page to express their selves as a human being? What will they share of themselves? What will I share of myself and what will I learn from others. I need to know what sends them to their finally last stroke of an image they call complete. \nI stopped my art work for many years to me mom. I started to escape the reality of day to day life through deep depression and physical pain. I stared writing prayers in hopes to heal my Father\u2019s illness. It was after his death I started to do digital art in 2003. I saw my first fractal on line and had to know \u201cwhat is this beautiful thing called fractal.\u201d Easy enough I found all the information on line. I taught myself how to create again. I having not being able to draw with my hands anymore I found digital art form a most rewarding healing tool it\u2019s self as well as writing poetry. \nYou used to be able to find me in a tree. There is where I come one with nature, one with God. I much rather draw in dirt than go shopping. \nDigital Art has become my healing tool for life now. I can get lost from the physical pain and bring new hope with each poem or image I create.\n \nI Become Secure In My Creative Escapes, \nYet I Am Perplexed In Spectrum\u2019s That Radiate My Path, \nStill I Know This Path I Trek Never Alone.\n~\nTherese M Smith","currentLocation":"http:\/\/red.bubble.com\/people\/xoxotree","phoneNumbers":[{"type":"home","value":"6167191739"}],"emails":[{"primary":"true","value":"xoxotree@gmail.com"}],"ims":[{"type":"msn","value":"therese-smith2008@live.com"},{"type":"yahoo","value":"therese.smith@ymail.com"},{"type":"gtalk","value":"xoxotree@gmail.com"}],"accounts":[{"domain":"blogger.com","display":"blogger.com","url":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/03348521080299297817","userid":"03348521080299297817","verified":"true","shortname":"blogger"},{"domain":"facebook.com","display":"facebook.com","url":"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=1005115207","username":"facebook.com","verified":"true","shortname":"facebook"},{"domain":"flickr.com","display":"creativeemotions","url":"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/people\/creativeemotions\/","username":"creativeemotions","verified":"true","shortname":"flickr"},{"domain":"plus.google.com","display":"plus.google.com","url":"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/100028339078807102494","userid":"100028339078807102494","verified":"true","shortname":"google"},{"domain":"linkedin.com","display":"linkedin.com","url":"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pub\/therese-smith\/26\/967\/367","username":"linkedin.com","verified":"true","shortname":"linkedin"},{"domain":"theresemsmith.wordpress.com","display":"theresemsmith.wordpress.com","url":"http:\/\/theresemsmith.wordpress.com\/","username":"theresemsmith.wordpress.com","verified":"true","shortname":"wordpress"},{"domain":"profile.yahoo.com","display":"profile.yahoo.com","url":"http:\/\/profile.yahoo.com\/UVONVDMQRC5L2Q3BW2ZKZF4JQ4","userid":"UVONVDMQRC5L2Q3BW2ZKZF4JQ4","verified":"true","shortname":"yahoo"},{"domain":"youtube.com","display":"3892249","url":"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/3892249","username":"3892249","verified":"true","shortname":"youtube"}],"urls":[{"value":"http:\/\/www.redbubble.com\/people\/xoxotree","title":"Gallery"},{"value":"http:\/\/www.digital-artists.ch\/galleries-6.html","title":"Gallery 1"},{"value":"http:\/\/www.renderosity.com\/mod\/gallery\/browse.php?username=XoxoTree","title":"Gallery of Emotions"}]}]}
