Manifest

Who am I? Artist, mother, wife, dollmaker.

What do I like (in no particular order)?

• My taste in art ranges all over: I love the work of many women artists from Cindy Sherman to Betye Saar, Judy Chicago and Sha Sha Higby. I love printmakers such as Claire Leighton and Helen Hyde. I also love the artwork of Remedios Varo, Leonora Carrington, Frieda Kahlo and Meinrad Craighead. I love Symbolist art and the Pre-Raphelites. I also enjoy art that spans two cultures. Much of the art above falls in that category.

• I enjoy good chocolate, hot chocolate and a cup of tea. I guess I am a bit of a foodie. I try to cook one new dish a week.

• I can't say I have a favorite color but rather I am more frequently drawn to earth tones and bright pastels.

• I am pagan, which to me means I think God/dess is immanent and transcendant. To connect, I spend time outdoors and hike around quite a bit.

• I am a dancer and enjoy exploring many kinds of dance. Lately, I have been bellydancing and swing dancing.
