My name is Michelle Pisciotta and I am an Artist and Mother. Artists who love words are also writers.
Regardless of a sort of sordid (though undeserved) reputation of being a woman of way too many words, I have been astonishingly latent on the 'Road to Blog'. My long history of lost and untouched perspective once left me with the understanding that Facebook was my blog, or at least blog-enough for me...but I learned that FB is more of a how's the weather, hey-go see this movie, and by the way, I worked out, ran errands, dusted and washed my dishes today, small-talk kind of place, rather than a spill your guts and make your heated point type of forum. I could be embarrassed, but it was well worth the valuable experience, even if that experience involved opportunistic deceit. If FB is a social test, I don't think I passed. Revolution, anyone?
I once was lost and mind-blocked to blog, but now I am found...here!
I have two wonderful, and unique teenage sons, Collin and Antonio. Collin is a musician with a band called, SleepCycle. He plays the guitar, sings, writes and composes for the band. I am his mom so if you can imagine, I cry happy tears when I hear his music. It really touches my soul. SleepCycle is amazing, I believe a household name one day!
Antonio is a writer, a poet like none other. He writes abstractly and prophetically and lives the same way which is acomplicated sometimes, but we make it work! He has a passion for his interests and a desire for success so I believe that whatever challenges he faces along his journey will only serve as greater inspiration for him. His unique challenges certainly serve as this for me.
Inevitably, stories of these talented and inspiring people will decorate a piece meal, hand-stitched saga within this blog. I will say just for now, that painting and parenting feel equally natural to me, sometimes smooth and easy, often rough with texture...ALWAYS original artwork.
Speaking of family, we also have a dog, 'Sophie', a lovey Lhasa Apso. Someone once said she looks like a mop which makes perfect sense because she's a wonder with crumbs on hardwood! We have a cat, 'Mr. Meowgi' (that's what I call him, anyway). He is elegant and wise and you really feel like somebody when this cat accepts you. He's royalty. I always straighten up when he's around!
We also have 7 rats. I love them all but I'm admittedly partial to 'Brownie' and 'Sideways'. Along with snakes, scorpions and giant, hairy spiders, I used to be oppositional to living with rats but through experience, I have discovered that these sweet creatures are strangely similar to dogs and cleaner than cats! They seem so socially aware sometimes that I keep expecting one of them to ask for organic veggies and an in-house recycling bin! Still on the fence when it comes to snakes, scorpions and spiders (large or small, hairy or not!)
Finally for now, I would like to mention that I became inspired to be a blogger today after much encouragement and after visiting an old schoolmate's blog. Lisa is a writer who just finished a book, right on the heels of inconceivable life challenges and I was referred to her blogspot to take a look. Her website is
LisaBarker.com and I wish her much continued success, always!
This has been a quick introduction...so far only to myself but if all goes well, I will one day become wealthy with many visitors to my proud, yet humble Blogspot.
Love to all, thank you for visiting, check me out again! (o:
