Liza's Story
I went to FSU after high school and in my sophomore year, went on an overseas studies program to Florence. Came home and had a nervous breakdown...spent several months in the psych unit at Shands. Been trying to recover ever since! LOL Spent a little time in Gainesville, Tallahassee, Oakland, CA and Tampa, where I realized at the age of 22 that I was gay. Moved to Atlanta where I lived for 23 years. While I was there, I did a variety of jobs, including restaurant work, being a food stamp and welfare caseworker, library work at GSU, office work, staff artist at a newspaper, housepainting and probably a couple of others. I worked my way through school and graduated with a BFA (concentration in children's book illustration). I moved to New Jersey about 25...Expand for more
miles outside of Manhattan for a few years then, and again held a variety of jobs...customer service rep for a cell phone company, newspaper carrier...and though I had another nervous breakdown and spent a short time in a hospital, I adored the area and living close to the city and watching the seasons change. I moved back to the Tampa area in 2002 to care for my now elderly parents (my brother lives in Tampa too). I live in New Port Richey with my partner Cindy and with 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 birds (one is a cockatoo). I'm also a breast cancer survivor.
There are a couple of things I'd like to do in years ahead...I'd like to spend a lot more time making art, and when the time is right, Cindy and I want to move back up to the Northeast close to Manhattan.
