hi my name is amber jones. i was born in st.louis mo but move around a lot in my early childhood. i was into anything that had to do with art as far back as i can remember. ive always had a love for art but i did not get really good at it until my early teen years. my homelife was not the best so i used art as a way to escape my life and all the bad things going on around me...at the age 14 i was put into fostercare where a whole new world of troubles awaited me. i was moved from one foster home to another not because i was a bad kid but because they would put me with people who wanted me for all the wrong reasons ...all the times where i wanted to give up the artist in me would not allow it. i can sit and draw for hours. not only did i love art it was great therapy for me. when i was in fostercare i made sure that no matter how many times i moved or how many times i had to leave my belongings behind i never went anywhere without my pad of paper and my pencil. i moved around so much in fostercare that a lot of the times those where the only things i could keep with me...ive been on the news and in the news papers when i was younger for my art. it helped me through years of abuse at home when i was young and got me through the five years i spent in fostercare. ive been out of fostercare for almost a year now because i got married...my biggest dream is to not make lots of money off my art because i dont do it for money i just want that when people see art work that ive done i want them to know who i was and what ive been through ...and even though ive had it rough i never gave up on my dreams or what i believe...because for as long as i live i will never put down my pad of paper or my pencil
