About me

Gender Female
Industry Arts
Occupation Mixed Media Artist, Dog Mama
Introduction I am a mixed media artist who specializes in art using repurposed items. I feel good about recycling and helping Mama Earth while creating something cool at the same time. The majority of my art is in painting, collage art, assemblage art and spirit dolls. I have always had a proclivity toward the bohemian lifestyle and consider myself a gypsy and free spirit at heart. I love creating and must do something to satisfy my artistic muse every day. I am a wife, sister, daughter, aunt and dog mama and I love all things that are four-legged, winged and aquatic. I love to go barefoot...I only wear shoes when I have to. Favorite Quotation: "Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong." -Leo Buscaglia
Interests Reading, writing short stories and human interest articles, graphic arts and most dear to my heart, animal rights...it is my passion to defend, protect and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Favorite Movies Favorite T.V. Shows: Lately, it is True Blood. I also love: The Sopranos, Carnivale, Deadwood, Lost in Space (the original old series with Dr. Smith) and Dark Shadows (huge fan of Jonathan Frid and Grayson Hall!). Favorite Movies: Chocolat, American Beauty (actually, anything with Chris Cooper), Rosemary's Baby (huge fan of actress Ruth Gordon and the author, Ira Levin), The Black Cat with Vincent Price, A Few Good Men, Sideways, Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, Horror Hotel, Carnival of Souls
Favorite Music I LOVE heavy metal...especially the 80s and 90s bands, i.e. Motley Crue, KISS, Whitesnake (not to mention David Coverdale is beautiful!), Black Sabbath (when Ronnie was the lead singer), Ronnie James Dio, Aerosmith (Steven Tyler keeps getting better with age!), Winger, Def Leppard and Guns 'n Roses. Melissa Etheridge is my all time favorite female singer. Stevie Nicks is a close second. Finally, I can't forget my love for the Stone Temple Pilots...Scott Weiland has to be one of the greatest singers of all time...My 2 favorite songs by STP are Interstate Love Song and Plush.
Favorite Books The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet, The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou, A Round Heeled Woman by Jane Juska, A Treasury of Great Recipies by Mary & Vincent Price.
