I'm growing as an artist and expanding my range, and not pigeonholing myself by doing the same thing, over and over.

I'm learning to hunt with rifles, because if you think about it, hunting gets you the healthiest meat - organic, free-range food. It's a totally yuppie spin on what I thought was kind of a redneck occupation.

The rite of passage of learning to build a fire that will burn all night with one match is not an insignificant one in my husband's family, and I grew up camping and backpacking. I love to camp.

Learning to shoot firearms to me is a little like driving stick - it seems like a decent skill to have.
