About me

Gender	Female
Industry	Arts
Occupation	Portraitist, Painter
Location	Tacoma, WA, United States
Introduction	I grew up on the Mason Dixon line slalom skiing around water moccasins, dancing with fireflies, climbing trees and tipping cows in the Missouri boot heel. With an inherent passion and curiosity around spirituality I look into people; deeply empathetic for their ‘stories’. I paint others so I may learn about myself; each painting is 'my Self Portrait of Another'. I focus on the Spiritual Essence of my client, or Muse. Adventure travels feeds me. ‘How does the world see ‘God’? How can paintings be prayers?’ I've Safaried through Africa where a Zulu Medicine man 'threw my bones’, I motorcycled Andalucia, SCUBAed ‘Shark Alley' Turks 'n Caicos, skydive, hiked glaciers, rode camels in the Sahara and much more. I build authentic, loving community around the globe. I recently returned to my ‘true nature’ by moving to the rain forests of Washington State and will graduate as a Licensed Spiritual Practitioner (RScP) in July of 2007. www.RobbiFirestone.com
Interests	Burning Man, authentic community, beauty, Grace, the space/time where quantum physics and spirituality intersect.
Favorite movies	The Secret (MUST see if you've gotten this far in my profile), What the Bleep, the Muppet Movie, the Barbers Wife, our parents Tarzan B&Ws, anything by Producer Cindi Rice -- She is THE Bomb.
Favorite music	World beat whatever. Shiva Rea. Soweto Gospel Choir. Spacecapades. Seal and Ismael Lo. Los Incas. Madonna in the Day. Mushy love songs. Shania. Blues. Deva Premal. Bette Midler. Broadway show tunes (especially Julie Andrews in Camelot.) It's all Good. I don't like music that fills ones head with dread and fear, whatever the 'style'.
Favorite books	The Artists Way, Lamb, a Course in Miracles, any Lonely Planet travel guide, Love in the Present Tense, the Secret of the Millionaire Mind.
