Books, poetry, drawing, painting, graphic design for cross stitch patterns and Cafe Press products, mask design... the a-typical things for a left-hander to conjure up.
I love the daily challenge of living with two cats. (Cats keep you humble)I collect Shiwan clay figures, Cheshire Cats, black cats and antique clocks.

Heroes
My Grandpa Andrew and Grandma Eva, who taught me all I needed to thrive in this world.
My Danish mother, Lis, who adopted me at the ripe age of 37.
John, who was the closest thing to a living angel for the seven years I had him. The stars are not as bright as they were with you, Honey.
My brother, Lynn, who taught me to live day after day in honesty, because bad people only thrive in the hidden shadows. Too deep? Then let's just say he was a cool older brother.
Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis drive me to find some form of entertainment to avert focus from the agonizing pain, so I have forced myself onto the art world. Be afraid. Be very afraid. The sheer volume of my creative madness is a testament to the number of sleepless nights I spend hunched over my tablet PC drawing and designing. Here's a hint: Bad pain causes me to design in Greens, Blues, and Purples. Good days bring out the Reds. I like the red days.
I am a devotee of Lewis Carroll's work, and I strangely found myself fascinated with the Cheshire Cat. I recognized the madness and appreciated the honesty of it. I have also been drawn to Carnevale Masks and Black Cats.
My new mother has told me I am an intuitive Dane, right down to the unique blue of my eyes and my appreciation for mermaids.
I am left-handed, from a family full of left-handed Capricorns. This means you can barely read my writing and I write and talk in a shorthand that drives everyone crazy. I get in trouble a lot because I tell the blunt truth as I am bad at keeping track of my lies.
Who I'd like to meet: People coping with chronic pain as I am, and all tortured artists, musicians, writers, etc. We can all gather at the corner cafe, drink our Absinthe and grumble about the state of the world.
