My Bio
¡Hola!

• My name is Mindy Santiago Pavone and I am an artist.

• I am a graduate student and a children's book illustrator wannabe.

• I was born in Puerto Rico, raised in Connecticut and now live in Central NY with my husband Mike, my dog Gala and my beta fish Rojo.

• I love to travel. I love to dance salsa and merengue.

• I'm extremely self-conscious. I am a huge bookworm.

• I'm horribly sarcastic and stubborn to a fault.

• I dream big but am afraid of failing.

• I'm probably one of the most superstitious people you'd ever meet.

• I'm fluent in Spanish.

• I have the mouth of a sailor.

• I tend to count on my fingers.

• I hate mushy food. I don't like my food to touch each on the plate.

• I bite the side of my cheeks when I'm nervous or anxious or both.

• Oh and while I was born on a island, I can't swim.

Over and out. ♥


Will work for food.
Will work in nude.
Will work, No 'tude.
Will work when in mood.

Current Residence: Central NY
Operating System: I ♥ me macbook
Personal Quote: Keep in mind that I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my shit.

stuff. holy crap people. i never expected when i joined this site that i would ever get a dd let alone two! i would like to thank 2dazed (https://www.deviantart.com/2dazed) for giving a dd. i would like to thank my mom for having me. i would like to thank my instructor of ceramics for making me do this project. and i would like to thank all the little people too. in other news, classes are crazy. i'm taking a web design class normally designed for 12 weeks in 3 weeks. holy stressful. but i bet i'll learn a heck of a lot. so please bear with me as i wade through all the comments and such. *edit: i'm down to 2 classes this semester from 3. 3 classes is way too many to h
