Hey Steemers!
My name is Sammi Dougherty. I am an artist, and a passionate soul, spiritual and knowledge seeking.

FROM
I was born in Northwest Ohio, USA. I moved to Virginia to obtain my Masters degree in Fine Arts (Drawing & Painting). Once obtained I want to become a Professor at the University level. I am a creature of instinct, and I was drawn to the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains in such a powerful way, there was no question that this is where I was meant to be.

ABOUT
I have many hobbies along with art, I am also a writer- someday an author. I love to read, and I love music- mostly oldies (Moody Blues, Billy Joel, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Jim Croce, the Beatles, the Chiffons, Tina Turner, Dusty Springfield, so many more...) I rollerblade, box, and play basketball. I'm pretty active, almost anything outdoors will excite me- fishing, kayaking, etc... I am an avid hiker, I go on long treks with my dog: Indigo Jones, Indi for short (a Blue Heeler mix). My dog is my favorite being to spend time with, his loyalty is unwavering and his friendship fills my heart. He's a silly lil dude.

I look to spread peace and Love in all that I do, I feel it is my purpose. My artwork is based on the idea that Love is related to matter cymatically. In the way that we are all vibrating particles of matter, I believe the pulse of: pure positive intention (Love), can trigger a ripple which causes matter to fall into its perfect niche- in the form of fractals. While attempting to explain verbally, and create visually- these complex and 'offbeat'(to some) ideas, it is necessary that I understand what 'love' is and practice it to the best of my ability, diligently. In myself I have sincerely attempted to create a character of loving elegance and grace.

I'm not saying I can't be a little punk sometimes ;P, but I try my best to be truly good to others and to myself. I am not naive to the negative possibilities, but I am intelligent enough not to let them deter my focus on my positive manifestations.
I have a loving family, and high quality friends whom I love to laugh with :) Life is a journey, and I'm enjoying the adventure!

If you haven't already, you should learn everything about steemit's passwords.

In my opinion that's one of the most important things ever, if you are planning on staying on steemit!
