Nature in all its forms. Hiking and seeing the beauty around me; waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, lakes, rivers, ocean, beaches, rock formations, open fields of wildflowers, the colors of fall, flowers and gardens, and trees. I like meeting new people and spending time with friends. I like deep conversations and going beyond my comfort zone. Of course I like painting or doing other creative things. I like playing racket ball and doing water aerobics. I like moon-lit walks and all things romantic. I like music, especially the kind that makes me "feel". I like reading good books that have happy endings.
Music
My taste in music is eclectic. I like pretty much everything except country. I can't get past the twang and bad grammar. I suppose oldies are my favorite though because they bring back to me emotional connections. I like music that moves me. Rap is okay if it doesn't have the "F" word every other word! Some of my favorite bands: Iron & Wine, Aqualung, Sixpense None the Richer, Moody Blues, CSN&Y, Simon & Garfunkel, Beatles,

I am an artist and I sell my artwork (above) in the form of giclee (pronounce geeclay) prints and so, if you like something you see, email me and I will send you the price list.
I am also a wife and a mother and I love my family. Here are pictures of my loved ones below.
I enjoy people, all of you! Different cultures and idealisms and thought processes intrigue me. I may not always be able to relate but I will try my best to accept you as you are.
I consider myself a romantic idealist. I like delving deep and letting soul touch soul. I like to create and I feel like the Creator has blessed me with a little part of himself when I create something.
Isaac sang the National Anthem at the American Heart Association's Heart and Stroke Walk in Portland OR on May 15th, 2009. We are so proud of him! He is awesome!
Who I'd like to meet: All the painters who came before me and influenced my work. In particular, Jan Van Eyck, Mary Cassatt, Rembrandt van Rijn, Giotto, Joseph Turner, Tintoretto, William Blake, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Michelangelo. There are so many more that I do not have room to mention them here. I would also like to meet all the myspacers who have a creative spirit whether it be visuals arts or writing or whatever. I would also like to meet spiritually minded people who enjoy sharing who they are and what they have learned.
I've tried SO many different things... styles, mediums, you name it, I've tried it! I agree, I can't talk crap about something if I haven't tried it, but since I've already tried it, I'm pretty happy with what I can do. =)
Hey thanks Cate! It's always nice to have a fellow artist check out my work. I've gotten pretty sick and tired of my art professors at CWU tell me I have no talent, and need to go more "abstract". Poo on them, I like what I do! =)
Congratulations, Grandma! You'll see how great having a grandkid can be! And I absolutley love my new kid (my HD XR1200C). Now I'm busy learning to ride better--just got my learner's permit on Saturday!
