About Me

I am a Female entrepreneur who creates handmade items and I currently reside in the PNW of Washington State, USA. My work and creations are inspired by my family roots. I will share with you exactly why my inspiration is a constant flow.

My paternal side: In the beginning, 2 entities traveled by sea speaking different languages and fell in love. My Grandmother Naomi was raised in a 14-bedroom Farmhouse home in Branson Missouri. Her desires were not to be a farmer's wife, but a Businesswoman. She went through the necessary College education that was funded to her by her father. She said her greatest achievement was paying her father back every penny that she had borrowed.

My Paternal Grandfather was raised in Iowa, he, at only 13 entered into the US Military, lying about his age for his initial strive to be involved. He ended up becoming a Demolition Expert in WW2 and a Sergeant in joining into the calvary only because of his love for horses. He was also a teacher of Demolitions and my father's hero. He passed away when my Dad was 13, leaving my Dad very lonely and in need of his memories of his dad reinstated. My Grandfather Vincent was a very characteristic man while once owning his own monkey, where my Grandma said she wasn't fond of it because it was messy.

And for my Maternal side, I have much to input; First My maternal Grandfather was a performer in the Circus of Ringling Bros and also worked heavily on the highwire and was very good friends with Karl Wallenda from the Great Wallendas, who performed in many shows walking the tightrope.

My grandfather, The Great Leon Forte, had a dream as a child, an actual dream that involved a bird walking a very steep wire. He had the dream frequently and he initially dropped out of high school and ran away with the circus to become a professional high wire walker. He later was welcomed aboard the Circus of the Stars tv series where he had trained many celebrities to perform on the show. His father was half Pawnee Indian/ Native American and in relation to Pawnee Bill. Pawnee Bill, however was not Pawnee Indian, but a translator to the Pawnee Indian tribe and had his own Western Shows and was great friends with Buffalo Bill in the early 19th century.

My Maternal Grandmother was married to the Great Leon and was the daughter of a half Cherokee man, who never referred to himself as an Indian, due to racism. She had married a few times after her separation with my Grandfather. She married a bodyguard to Frank Sinatra and a French cook, who had prepared meals for the US President. She ended up living her life independently and devoted herself to spirituality. Her father was a soldier of the Navy, and as departing his duties as a US Civilian, built his own electrical company. In where, my Paternal Grandmother Naomi, ended up becoming his secretary before my parents met each other in high school.

My parents departed their ways when I was only one years old, my mother wished to move to another state and my Dad didn't want to leave his hometown or the memories of his Dad behind. They were very good to each other, they never fought. So, it was a shock to see them separated. My Mother was always very creative in my youth, writing little Children stories and positive messages about spirituality, and creating meditation items for better focus. She was in tune with her spirituality all her life. Our genes consisted of Irish, Native American, German, French and Dutch.

Under some circumstances, we had been in some difficult situations from her ex husband, but our creativity pulled us out of hardship. On the other hand, when I was 7, I had been involved with a school of Enlightenment and I learned a great deal of myself. I made it to a very spiritual level with my teacher one day when I had made it through the labyrinth blindfolded within around an hour and a half during a focus project. He had called me to the stage in front of around a thousand people and I hadn't been the same since. My spirituality has initiated not only deep perceptions but also real experiences that can only be captivated by Truth. I have learned to take my creativity and use it towards my creations as my inspiration keeps growing because of my spirituality and my family roots.

My Dad had passed in 2016, and he was an electrician. He told me I was Black Irish and that I was a black sheep, like him. He was the bravest guy I knew, crawling under my Grandma's house to fix stuff and grabbing rattlesnakes with his bare hands, he was a real cowboy to me. He was fearless and serious about the Laws of the Almighty.

So, that's all for now, Thank you for reading this, it means a lot to me, and I hope you enjoy your Handmade items and or Digital art work.
