Hi!
I'm Eleanor Loretta M. Kane, named after my grandmothers Leanora and Loretta, but please call me Ellie.
I'm a writer and artist residing in Nashville, TN, but am a born and bred Big Apple gal, Brooklyn born, Staten Island raised. I came here in '79 and my parents followed suit by moving here in '98. They are now both, sadly, deceased; mom passed July 02 and dad in July 04.
I'm 54, an only child and married to a great guy. I'm also divorced but was friends with my ex, Roger, who passed away August of '07. Hubby David and I live in a home with our 9 year old daughter Tiffany, a cat and 2 rats. Tiffany's not human! I know mothers who'd probably say the same about THEIR children, but the exception here is that Tiffany really is NOT human. She's a fid. A GCC. Do what? A feathered kid, a Green Cheeked Conure, a gorgeous cherished creature! Be sure to check out all my FIDS pages here!

THIS SITE/ SPIRIT
"Spirit" was a site title that just * popped out * of my head many ions ago when I discovered I had to call it something. I kept the title in the long haul because I feel that the word embodies who I am and how I try to live; * with * spirit, spirited, with a sense of humor, and most importantly, spiritual – with relationship with the God of *my under stand-ing*.
While I had other ideas when I first created my site, which included a LOT of parrot/conure pages & pictures and all kinds of things, my updates in the 2005 - 2008 period were aligned more with my life since and now, thinking of this as a place primarily for showing off my varied creations! I am an artist and doing so is of huge importance to me, but focused again now on the fact that I am the sum of many parts, I've chosen to represent all the pieces of me, within reason, if but still a greater focus on the art than the rest. ~~~~~~

About that, I'm a self taught visual artist who has been creating since I was a toddler. Influenced and encouraged by an artist father, aunt and uncle as well an Honors Art class in 9th grade, I have tried my hand at a variety of art forms, in recent years discovering the magic of mixed media. Joining the Tennessee Artist's Guild at Madison Art Center in October 2005, an artists' cooperative, was my first attempt at moving my art from my personal life to the “world.” For more info and a look see please be sure to check out all my ART pages.
I hope you enjoy your visit here, and I hope you return every so often to see new additions. For more personal and life photos than you'll ever find here, check out my spot at MySpace http://www.myspace.com/spiritdaughter54
Well, enjoy your time here and don't forget to check my Writing pages here. I've tried to make my site a lively spot for folks to visit on-line. Leave all you cares behind for a while and let me cheer you up. You'll see fun colors and things, home made graphics and other graphics, this and that, and there's even some art candy for the ears, i.e. MUSIC! Be sure your speakers are on!
Enjoy! God bless!
