Name: Fearecia Maddox (Faye for short)

Where is home: I currently reside in the upper elevations of Colorado, dodging the bears and the moose. In general, though, home is where I am safe and comfortable, and where my husband is (Sere Robert Maddox).

A little about me: I'm a massage therapist by day, and artist of many trades by night. I used to do nursing before I did massage and my knowledge of the human body and how it works is rather expansive. If you want some advice or have a bad shoulder you'd like a little relief from, toss me a line. Chances are I can at least provide a little help and if nothing else, I'm fascinated by the various random crud the body loves to do. Lol. I love trying to figure it out. We'll be bringing a massage table to the playa, so be on the lookout for us! (We won't be bringing sheets, so please be clothed or have a towel with you).

As for my art, well, I'll be easily spotted as the black dragon wandering around the playa. Money permitting, I have a full body costume in the works and well, it should be amusing if nothing else. I'm only planning on wearing the monstrosity during the cooler times of evening and night. Otherwise, I do the regular trades of painting and digital art, along with pottery, chainmaille (jewelry), costuming, and writing. One of these days I'd love to get into glass blowing or even welding, but those are a little more expensive on the startup costs. Lol.

Burning Man: Well, I'm a first time burner. My husband told me about Burning Man around about 2009 when we first hooked up. It sounds utterly fascinating, though a bit daunting. A week plus in the desert? When you are as white as I am? Lol. Needless to say on my list of things to do is sew "desert clothing" for me and my husband. We both burn like crazy, so long sleeves and pants are a must for us. I am, however, definitely looking forward to the "radical inclusion" aspect of the community of Burning Man. When you are both kinky and therian, it can be very hard to find acceptance for the entirety of yourself. I must say I'm really looking forward to the Class of Thursday Ropework at the 4Peas. Robert seriously needs some lessons! Lol. Otherwise, I'm trying to figure out what little things I can do for gifts that won't cost us an arm and a leg.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing everyone there!
