| Introduction | I love making art, collages, ATC's, trading with other artists, listening to music, reading...(mostly craft books explaining techniques). I visit second hand stores weekly, (if not more). When I'm not thrifting or making art to trade I like to go for walks, sew, make jewelry, take photos, ride my bike and hike. I have travelled a fair amount, though not as much, or to as many places as I would have liked, but I spent a good deal of my 20's living out of a suitcase and working in between my travels and getting a degree in Fine Art. I love the desert (Las Vegas, Joshua Tree, Grand Canyon etc.). I've been to Europe three times, lived in Amsterdam, Italy, lived and worked in London, England, volunteered in Germany. I also stayed for an extended period in S. California and spent two summers in Montreal. I've been to Mexico, New York, Seattle, San Francisco, Portland. I love all animals but cats are the best! Thanks! |
