What is in a name?

[Jennifer Geary]

I have to thank my dear mom for my name, or rather, for me taking it from her! Her maiden name is Redstreake, so i took it as my middle name. When I sign my paintings I just sign them 'Redstreake', short and simple. Sounds like an artist name, doncha think? It is actually a Welsh name, the name of a type of Apple. Alot of people think it is Native American. At any rate, we are the only Redstreakes in the U.S., so it works out quite nicely! :-)
