My name is Violet, however I prefer to go by Joy. I really don't have a favorite artist. I love photography and would call Ansel Adams a great artist. I am taking this class because it is a pre-req. for the nursing program. I hope to learn a lot about the way the human body works and will also, obviously learn a lot about blogging since I have never done it before. 3 interesting things: this picture represents my 3 beautiful children that keep me going. I have a certificate of graduation in photography. I was born and raised in Sedona, and my dad was born in the Jerome Hospital. I am looking forward to the challenge of this class and hoping to pass with flying colors.
