peek into my looking glass...
My name is Claire Frances Taylor. I am currently a senior attending Arizona State University Polytechnic Campus to obtain a degree in Graphic Information Technology (GIT).
Education Goals:
I plan on finishing up my BS in Graphic Information Technology with a concentration in photography, and I would like to get a job taking photographs or possibly designing websites. Someday I may want to achieve my masters degree in something, but at this time I have no idea what or when. I always figured that would be a couple years down the line once I've got some experience in the work world and a steady job.
Hobbies:
- I like to be creative!
- Drawing - I like to draw mostly dragons, but sometimes I feel inspired enough to do other things too. I designed the banner and other art around this website!
- Writing - I am currently working on several fantasy stories. One of my dreams is to get them illustrated and published. I have one that is more or less completed and can be viewed here
- Reading - I love to read books, usually mostly science fiction and fantasy. Authors like R.A. Salvatore, Mercedes Lackey, and Elizabeth Moon inspired me to write!
- Taking pictures - I love animals and wildlife, so most of my pictures are of these. One of my dreams is to be a wildlife photographer for National Geographic.
- Photo manipulation & painting in Photoshop (I LOVE Adobe Products)
- Fiber arts - I like to spin, which is what was traditionally used to make yarn. I say "fiber arts" instead of just "spinning" because there is a lot of preparation that I sometimes need to do to the raw fiber before it can actually be spun on the spinning wheel: washing, skirting, cleaning, carding... sometimes more than once. I also know how to knit and weave too, I just don't enjoy them as much as I enjoy working on a spinning wheel.
- Video Games - my boyfriend is studying to be a video game designer, so he's gotten me into all sorts of video games. My favorites so far are the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time & Twilight Princess, and any of the Guitar Hero games. I'm also an avid player of World of Warcraft (WoW) when I can afford it - it's where my primary nickname, Stormwatcher, came from.
- Travel - I do like to travel, and to have adventures. I'm from Pennsylvania, and for family vacations we used to drive up to Maine or the Adirondacks (in New York State) for our family vacation, or to visit family. As a result, I've driven through or visited every state on the east coast. Since I'm so far from home at college, this is almost like one big adventure because I get to discover AZ and hopefully this semester will do some traveling within the state (I previously didn't have a car). I've also been to Los Angelos, California to see the Pacific Ocean!
I seem to have SO MANY profiles scattered everywhere... instead of me telling you the information here, why don't I just link them for you? ^_^

There is also my old website page that goes with this one: The Looking Glass. It's older, hasn't been updated in about a year, and is bound to have popups.
Elfwood & DeviantArt are two of the most popular (I think) artist websites out there. Occasionally I go through a kick of wanting to upload my stuff to something.
