When I was a baby my father woke me up in the middle of the night to make me watch Torvill and Dean winning 1984 Olympics with Ravel's Bolero. That's when I fell in love with figure skating.
My grandfather was a painter and I took the passion for art from him. To his disappointment my first drawing wasn't a lanscape but a manga character...(Mazinga Z if you wanna know...)
I graduated with a thesis about japanese animation.
I lived in Ireland and planning to retire there when I will be really, really old.
I'm crazy about Anne of Green Gable (maybe because I'm a red head too) and went to Canada to visit Prince Edward Island where Lucy M. Montgomery was born...and yes I'm definitely a nerd!!
