constancet

Moved to FL after 24 years in NYC. Hurricane Charley hit a few months later. After 5 years my house is finally back together pretty much. I am a mother of one grown daughter and partner to an old guy who loves to dance in the garage with me. These small things make me happy most days. I am an artist (oils) finding my way again after decades of doing other "jobs". I like trying new techniques, ATC & SKINNY cards, collage papers, embellishments. I PROMISE TO RATE FOR BETTER OR WORSE.

Recycle, reuse. Only obsess over STUFF for ATCs. Especially tropical; the color turquoise!I (not pastel); India motifs, French country color, patterns. Any related DANCE, Geisha, Pinup, Wings, Crowns, Royal, French, interesting papers, charms. Actor/Actress pics (my printer sucks). Sassy or witty; also like Anahata Katkin, Teesha Moore & Oilily color, sunny, happy. Love Zettiology (what is that exactly beside wonderful?) Covet one of those French Chocolate Stamps --anyone in France????

I love live theater!!! Helen Hayes is still my queen. Old films Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey H, Kate & Spencer, DAVID NIVEN, George Clooney, Johnny Depp; Classics & mysteries; foreign films, independent artsy films

John Lennon (70s were great); anything Beatles; Motown, blues jazz; tenors; Classic remakes; my partner's obsessed with big band era & has an old phonograph in the garage always playing some dance band vinyl. This is where we sometimes just stop whatever & dance.............

Home decorating books and art books keep me inspired. Aristotle for guidance. I am spiritual but not religious.

News junkie; closet detective (like solving mysteries); Grey's Anatomy & Desperate Housewives; fill in while doing arts/crafts with background shows like Mentalist, Closer, Nancy Grace, Craig Ferguson, PBS.

I only do oil painting & mixed media collage and ATCs right now. I'm new at ATCs. They are amazing & for me time consuming. Some of my ATCs take me days to finish -- I admit to being old and slow.

Artists I love: Saint Victor Diaries, Anahata Katkin, Frida Kahlo, R. Kenton Nelson; Malcolm Liepke; Victor Wang. MacKenzie-Childs, Teesha Moore anything; folk art; Oilily fashion art. The Lint Museum -- wonderful collage work.

Goth, cartoons, scary images, Disney, stickers on a page, NON RATERS.
