About Me

I'm an artist. I work mostly in pencil, but I do dabble in watercolours and acrylics. I'm a single mother of a beautiful and fascinating 11-year-old girl. I'm grateful to be surrounded by colourful friends and an amazing family. I live in the most beautiful valley on earth...The Okanagan in British Columbia, Canada.

My Interests

Reading, cooking (Thai, Japanese and mexican especially), pattern making/sewing, gardening, horseback riding, camping, watching movies. Because I'm artistic, I find many of my interests fall into the creative categories. I like to bake, but I love cake and cookie decorating. I like to garden, but love to build rambling rock walls/gardens, and creating new ways to display plants in unusual containers. I like to cook for friends, but love theme cooking, or fusian cooking.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

I honestly love music. I love discovering new bands, or songs by bands I already enjoy. As far as music categories goes, my tastes might seem eclectic. I like trance/house/dance music (Madonna, Kascade, Tatu, Iio, and re-mixes) New rock (Hinder, Seether, Nickelback, Dark New Day, Linkin' Park, Default, Evanescence, Disturbed, Audioslave, Yellow Card, 3 Doors Down, Third Eye Blind, Buck Cherry...I just love Buck Cherry...lol) Softer music (Michael Buble, Jonny Lang, Jack Johnson, Black Eyed Peas, K T Tunstall...this list could go on and on really) I liked music from the 70-80s Punk scene. I loved Grunge. Celtic music is heavenly. So I guess it's safe to say I'm open to most musical styles, but I don't like it when people are stuck in ONE genre, especially if that genre has seen its day.

Movies:

Like music my movie choices are all over the place. My absolute favorite movie is a foreign film...The Double Life of Veronique. Other choices fall into comedy, drama, thrillers, horrors (I love a good scare...lol), sci-fi, animation...There's something good in every genre. My least favorite are mafia movies...I'm not sure why but I can't get into The Godfather, Good Fellas, Scarface no matter how I try to accept them.

Television:

CSI is probably the one TV show I watch...but it ends up being re-runs on alternative cable channels. I watch The Food Network and Showcase channels more than any others. I prefer reading or movies to watching tv.

Books:

Lately I've been reading mysteries and suspence novels, but I'm just as eclectic in my reading as my movies and music.

New portraits

I thought I would add some new drawings into my pics. I'm kind of curious why they haven't expanded the picture section to make it hold more. I want to show off my family, friends and artw...
