Hello, and welcome to my user page!

[edit] About me

I'm a recent graduate of the College of William and Mary in Virginia with a degree in art history. My strongest interest lies in academic art, primarily that of Poland and other states in Eastern Europe. I'm also interested in the Western-style art of Japan. My non-major-related interests include classical music (especially opera), lighthouses, Photoshop, and SomethingAwful. I also have a heavy interest in automobiles, and have been trying to write up articles on a number of defunct makes for which I have information.

I'm a bit flighty when it comes to choosing the things I like to work on; generally, I prefer finding and rewriting material online rather than in print, as I have less patience juggling a book and a computer. Still, I try to do my part in searching out esoteric information and bringing it to Wikipedia. My current goal is to produce at least one new page per day.
