My name is Stephanie Lynn Barkley. I reside near Syracuse, NY. I like to make art, take pictures, go for long walks and camp. I like birds, to socialize, and the way the air smells in the woods. I like tea and coffee, love nature. Owls fascinate me. I consider myself an artist. I have no idea what I'm doing with my life--but I'm majoring in Fine Arts, hoping it might lead to an Art Therapy degree.

For Mayas, the crow was the messenger of the God of lightning and thunder.
Middle Eastern and Asian cultures often speak of birds as symbols of immortality.
Robins and bluebirds are associated with the coming of spring and the renewal of the earth.
It represents my mother, father, and brother. My family is my flock.
It symbolizes my creativity and reminds me to not cage myself—the sky is the limit. Which is the main reason my birds are in flight. That’s when they are the freest, I think.
