It's always been NUMBERS!!
Even though I've been surrounded by closing statements and spreadsheets most of my life, I have always dreamed of a more artistic life. So, it's time for a change. I'm trying to create something (no matter how simple or small) every day. I have found, however, that I'm much more comfortable with more linear or geometric designs (it's that "numbers" thing again), but I'm pushing myself to be more free with it.

And then, I had to get my fix by drawing some lines:
