Ilene Barone
Hello, my name is Ilene. I was born in Manhattan and raised in Queens, New York. I really enjoyed growing up in Queens. Those were the days. At the age of nineteen, I got married and moved upstate to a town called Cambridge. There I had two children, but later divorced and moved to New Jersey. Two years later, I moved back to Queens and two years after that move out to Long Island. Yes, I moved around a lot and with two kids. I went back to school and got my Associates Degree in Graphic Design. Though I did dibble in it here and there, but never going fully foward with it. Being a single mother, it was hard to make a living on. I did get remarried and had another child. New York unfortunately was getting too expensive for us to live, so we moved to Ohio.
