On Being Chair
I’m not wooden or leather, fabric or plastic, but have always been Chair.
Chair is simply a first syllable-ism (with a letter swap for the sake of proper pronunciation) of my real name, Charity.
Mostly a Stay At Home Mom, I also dabble in gardening, miscellaneous craft wizardry (sewing, knitting, &c, &c), painting, cooking, decorating, reading and, when time permits, sleeping.
My paying job is doing mostly insect illustration (under the registered trade name of Charity Briere Illustration). I have been published in a series of books on garden bugs and will soon be featured in some children’s educational playing card games. I am in the process of building a proper portfolio page. In the meantime, please visit my Flickr set here to see some of my work.
