This is me, M.Spilane:

I am a self-representing artist, mother, wife, Domestic Diva (Ha! "Domestic Diva" sounds a little better than "One Who Does The Laundry", right?!), and a dreamer.
I'm sure I've been called other things (hehe!) - but those are what comes to my mind the quickest...
I come from a long line of artists in the family who love to paint, draw, laugh, be sarcastic and do kinda weird things. Here's some photographic evidence of that:

(*1979 - yep, I'm the funny lookin' little one*)
My mom decided Hawaiian & Tahitian dancing was in the future for us.
After 10+ years of lessons over 15 years ago I am pleased to say I can still do a darn good hula. Bring on your tiny bubbles Don Ho... (R.I.P.)
FLASH FOWARD ALMOST 30 YEARS
and I'm still in a goofy costume... damn:

"G'day, My Lady." (Humm - no matter how hard I try my Old English always sounds like a bad Australian accent...).
My family owns a shop at the Renaissance Festival and I work there every summer (I got medieval on that guy behind me).
My man still likes to ride his bike at 35 and can still do cool tricks like this:

and this:

He's a good guy and makes me laugh everyday.
I have a 5 year old boy named Ash who is already showing a love for painting and music:

And a big eyed baby girl we call Lucy who looks like a flower in her bonnet:

I am also a mom to a 12 year old geriatric weiner dog named Joey:

Sometimes he's a stuck up artist and will only respond when we call him Joseppi.
I't odd.

Well, that's about it! Thanks for taking the time to check out a little about me & I hope you like my art!
