About Me

I'm a 57 yr. old woman living with 2 mini doxies, and 4 cats!!! I enjoy doing ATC's, collage, visual journaling and painting with acrylics. My inspiration comes from Teesha Moore, Misty Mawn, Anahata Katkin, and Karen Michel. My favorite colors are purple and green. I'm also very drawn to earth tones and often paint with those colors. I like unusual things and definately not cutsie. I work part-time at a paper store, that sells all kinds of paper and some art related items!! My favorite holiday is Halloween. I love taking art related classes and look forward every April to going to Artfest.

Favorite Music

I really like all kinds. Some artists from my Ipod Bob Dylan,Noah Jones,Madeleine Peyroux,Ray Charles,Van Morrison,Jewel,Sarah McLachlan,Allison Kraus

Favorite Movies

Harry Potter movies, Love Actually, Sleepless in Seattle

Favorite Television

Project Runway,House,ER, So you think you can dance, Top Chef

Favorite Crafts

mixed media, altered art, and visual journaling, ATC'S,rug-hooking(just took a class)

Favorite Books

Harry Potter, Eat Pray Love, Anne Lamott Books, The Secret Life of Bees

Favorite images

Birds,mermaids,angels,witches,faces,hands,houses, crows,owls,keys

My likes

Things I like- Dark choc.,tea,Chai Lattes,Halloween(especially witches,black cats and skulls),cats,vintage,Fall,Day of the dead-pretty much anything unusual. Lately I've been into crows and owls. Oh, and I really love getting stuff in the mail! I also love getting homemade things from swaps...would love a stuffie, since I don't sew much! I usually don't like cutsie stuff, but I do like japanese stuff with mushrooms,hedgehogs,owls,etc. I just got my Mom's collection of owls, so would love to add to the collection!
