paints

I live on California's Central Coast. I love all arts. I love to paint, draw, sew, scrapbook, take pictures and play with Photoshop. I also make and sell jewelry.

My favorite music is classic rock, folk and alternative country.

My favorites are Shakespeare and John Steinbeck.

PBS and anything like CSI or NCIS for moments of escapism.

Making jewelry, but it's all good.

Cooking, cats, gardening, basil, uggs, camping, looking for jade in Big Sur. My favorite colors are ocean colors and mountain colors. I love hiking and nature. I love all animals, and am an avid birdwatcher. I usually prefer vintage to new. I love old postcards, old brooches, old snapshots...

I dislike plastic most of the time. I dislike Japanese Anime, Hello Kitty, or anything like that. I dislike any sort of vulgarity.

I love the vintage and the unusual in any category. I love Art Deco and Classical art. I love Nature and Natural things. I love anything Southwestern or Native American. I love anything related to Marine Life. I love trees.

I am not religious, but I am not offended by religious themes, unless it is someone knocking at my door trying to sell me literature...or someone telling me I am a sinner and destined for the fiery flames. I believe in Mother Earth and being truly human.
