My name is Marina! 🐌 I am an artist and fantasy writer, born in '83. You're welcome to refer to me as she/her. 🌈💙💖💛
I adore animals, and live at the beck and call of several very spoiled cats. I also love snails and rats and have had many of these as pets in the past. 🐭 🐌 I'd have a few farm animals if I could. My all-time favorite animals are squirrels. I put feeders out for them which are also visited by blue jays and the occasional mouse. I love all animals, even snakes and creepy crawlies.
I am an avid reader, with books in almost every room of the house, and I have a passion for dinosaurs and natural history, as well as fantasy and science fiction. I also really enjoy gaming, primarily Nintendo Switch and PC.
I also really love toys and colorful things in general, I have a serious side with serious interests but I love anything reminiscent of innocence and childhood days, since my own childhood experience wasn't always the greatest. I try to recapture some of that lost innocence as an adult, in the form of silly little hobbies like coloring, dressing colorfully, and playing with toys. And of course, I like to live vicariously through cute art. 🙂
Art-wise, I greatly enjoy anything pen-and-ink and many other forms of traditional media, particularly colored pencils.
