Leo is 'Fire' to the core! Fire brings a desire to create, to innovate, to lead. The sign represents mega-confidence that seems to radiate out. Of course there must be an audience there to applaud! The 'Fixed' motivation adds self-reliant action that works well in leadership positions. Fixed means Leo is a formative energy, with an ability to consolidate and stabilize.

AND of course Fire can rage out of control, so the extremes can bring a need to balance the self-confidence with humility! To become the humble but lovable lion. The playfulness associated with Leo, can regress to childish 'demand' for attention rather than just acknowledging recognition and applause. This is when the Yang needs the Yin -- allowing peaceful receptivity to surface. To allow that big, beautiful heart and 'sunshiny' spirit to balance giving and receiving. -from Astronet.com

Some people say they can see these traits in my personality. It's really weird. If you have been around me you will see how I can be very 'sweet' and then 'feisty'. So watch out! I am a lion waiting to pounce on you!!! But, only to play around and kid with you! But, as a leo, the lion is my mental guardian. It protects me of rage and fiery anger, which is associated with the dragon that had gone evil. Check out my artwork page and look at my the first week of studio in my Illustration's first project: 'Self-portrait'. It visually describes my inner conflict with good and evil, how the lion is there to hold off the dragon, that brings out the 'mean' and 'angry' that is inside. But remember, it's all metaphor. It's a visual way of describing the internal conflict with my anger using symbolism and lots of metaphor. Enjoy!

My Bio:

Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee to the parents of Richard and Beth. I have two brothers, Lee and Scott, and I am the youngest, the baby! My family has been my main influence for my artwork, which I have done my whole life. I am now studying it for a career at the Kansas City Art Institute in Kansas City, Missouri. Art is one of my passions and strengths. Another is my loving boyfriend, Evan. So, in this website you can see my family, my boyfriend, friends, pets, my artwork, and many other things!!

Home is Tulsa. My family moved there several years ago from Nashville, TN, after sixteen years of my life that I spent growing up. However, right now Kansas City is my home away from home. This is the second year in Kansas City of my college years.
