Artist in Montreal for now moved from L.A, I enjoy all things handmade and aside from painting I like to make pretty much anything crafty. I love fashion! I love to window shop, I'm one those people that can walk around one store over and over and look at the same things over and over and walk out empty handed. I also like to go out on walks on a nice day and meeting friends for tea and a nice chat. Majority of my time is spent creating, sewing, painting, stain glass, ceramic, whatever it is I have most likely worked on that medium. I used to be a art teacher, taught fine arts and art history to Junior high and high school students and college students as well. Now I'm taking a break on that and focousing more on my art and just being me ;)

All kinds except for country and gangsta rap and gospel and folk music. I like punk rock, classic rock, classical, pop, dance, Alternative, etc Some musical artist I enjoy are: Air, Yann Tiersen, Tori Amos, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beck, Bjork... I can go on and on. I also like classic rock like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Who, The Doors, etc mostly influenced from my father.

I also like some dance music, overall I have a pretty eclectic taste.

Lost in Translation, Amelie, Willy Wonka and the Choclate factory. I like brit humor and comedy movies I also like fantasy and sci fi and love horror flicks. Not a fan of love/romance films.

The Office, Scrubs, DeadWood, Big Love, Rome, Carnivale, Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, Politically Incorrect, Project Runway, Little Britain, Ab Fab.

Pretty much all really, I tend to gear for cute frilly pretty things of course Kawaii as well ;) I enjoy sewing, I use a lot of vintage kimono fabrics from Japan.

I'm really not that picky so it's hard for me to list out what I like or do not like.

*Likes: I like zakka stuff, asian theme items, kawaii, french theme stuff or french made stuff. I like feathers and very girly stuff. Stationary, bright colored paper. I also love vintage items and unique fabrics. I adore red hearts and paper lanterns or images of paper lanterns. I adore the color red and love even more red with white polka dots and all polka dots Check out my Etsy profile and look under my fave's to get an idea of stuff I like as well. Candy wise I like asian, Japanese candies because they are not to sweet. Sanrio characters I adore are The Little Twin Stars and My Melody, my fave San-X character is Afro Ken.

*Dislikes: I don't like country style or folk crafts or themed. Old used up items, not a fan of most candies but my husband likes candy so I usually pass it to him if I get any. I also have a very sensitive nose so no harsh fragrance items. No candles I rarely use them and no bath or body items, (lotion or soap) I have sensitive skin.
