My Name is Dania; an artist from Maine now living with my brother, two roomates and three dogs in Los Angeles.
There we are on a recent trip to the mountains; here are a few examples of my artwork.
I grew up in the little town of Thomaston Maine. A pretty little fairytale village that no one knows about.
I have good and bad memories of growing up. Having friends; losing friends; playing make believe, drawing for hours on end and making my own worlds. I moved away when I was 15; but it shaped the clay that made me.
My hometown has also been used in the background of a few Stephen King films.
I made my final move to Los Angeles in 2016 and my life started to become an actual life. I showed my work in galleries and featured it in magazines and became active on Steemit.
I miss Maine; so peacefull and green.
I get so depressed there however, especially during the long winters.
My life has had boring and adventurous periods. From attending a strange alternative school for six months when I was 15 to college and the people I met in Western MA to various trips and adventures. From my creative and stress-free life working a "personal care attendant" in Massachusetts to a rather stressful life working as a "Certified Nurses Assistant", to now I working a variety of jobs in LA; everything from motion graphics to portraits to house sitting.
Been enjoying exploring California; beautiful place.
Our backyard
I have been concentrating on collage work over the last few weeks; here are a few.
This is a nice intro. Your hometown really does look like a fairytale village. And your backyard looks about like I figured your backyard would look like :)
Haha! Really? I loved to see where people are holed up.
Welcome to Hive! Looking forward to see more of your work

Is LA too hot or dry? Welcome to the west coast and to Hive. I'm from Oregon and went to college in upstate New York and I may have visited Maine before.
Thank you. It is nice weather right now; rainy until this week now sunny and damp.
Oh nice.
This photo here...
Almost reminds me of a place in Portugal, in Sagres. Beach of Tunnel. Great memories... most of my child memories to be honest. Great stuff. Thanks for the flash back.
It is in Malibu; beautiful place. You literally go through a cave to get to the beach. I wish I could go there this weekend; the beaches are closed.
So funny... in Portugal the beach I am referring too, is exactly the same. Even on high tide, you can't pass unless swimming.
I have only been once to the beach in Malibu so I don’t know how how close the water gets to the cave. Would love to go to Portugal one day
=) now, only after the corona event 😀

It's so nice to get to know more about artists whose artworks I always came up on Steem and now with the new platform we have the chance to reintroduce ourselves.
I love your hometown, looks so beautiful! I can imagine winters being harsh though. Your art as always is amazing but on a side note I think you look really cute on that picture hahaha.
