Being A Ventriloquist Pinup Saved My Life

My ex fiancé Sean looked me in the eye and said, “April, it’s me or the puppets.” I felt a knot in my stomach and the vomit come up my throat. In a courtship that seemed so perfect, I didn’t see this coming. He had begged to be my boyfriend on the first date and then by the third we were engaged. What could possibly go wrong?

Ms. Nina Roe

Coming from a family of artists, the creative fire has always burned in my soul. Art has always been a part of my life from watching my grandfather paint and being a member of the art club in high school to using art as a coping technique for anxiety. I have dabbled in different types of art some of which include painting, sketching, photography, digital art, design, and sculpting. My recent endeavors have taken me to hand sculpting and painting nightmarish jars, pendants, and magnets. My inspiration usually comes as I start to build upon the clay. My emotions from life events and thoughts provoked by the podcasts or documentaries I'm listening to at the time play a role in my creations. At this time I don't have a platform where I sell my items but I am working on this. Stay tuned!
