I'm a painter, but I also love photography, performance art, design(fashion, interiors), writing. Any type of artistic creativity fuels my passion in one way or another. Travel. Music shows, mostly local acts in small venues. Reading, I am a confessed magazine addict, but I do love beautiful books on almost any subject, art, history, travel, design, etc. Meandering walks, thoughtful and random....so much inspiration. Anything crafty, sewing, etc.
Artists and other creative people. Someone who can dazzle me with their words, make my head spin, get me all....
