Hey guys, Geraldine here! Here's some things about me ^_^  School of Study: LaGuardia Community College Major: Nursing Age: 19yrs Hobbies: Sing, draw, listen to music, play various sports Love: Food, going out on adventures and taking pictures Hate: Drama, mint chocolate chip ice cream, anything that has to do with horror! Dream: Travel around the world with my loved ones! Experience in Art I've been involved in various types of art classes and in those classes I've done pencil drawing, graffiti, water-coloring, pastel, acrylic painting and collages. My most favorite type of art technique is water-coloring because I love the way the colors can diffuse and blend in with one another so amazingly. When the water colors are all dried up, I like to go over it with a black pen or a sharpie pen creating a drawing right on top.
