Volcano Artist - erupting with body painting ideas - need canvases.

About Me

I am a Face and Body Artist creating living art in Northern California and traveling worldwide to work on special projects.

My Interests

Body Painting - Right now it's the US Body Painting Festival of which I am a Co-Producer --- www.myspace.com/usbodypaintingfestival2
Face Painting, Airbrush Tattoos - my bread and butter ---www.extremefaceart.com-------
Aside from learning arts that relate to those ------- the Outdoors - I am a California girl at heart, raised around and in the Sierra Nevadas, I have hiked a million-plus trails and have a million more to do.

I'd like to meet:

"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods." A.Einstein
Seekers & tellers of their tales. ---- Creative new and old souls.
People who love what they do and are making a mark in their world. ---- I am not overly impressed because your "famous" show me a facet of you that's real and interesting.
People who can argue their position with passion, even heat, yet respect mine when it differs and end to fill the air with laughter sharing a great bottle of wine or brew and a great meal. Click Here for Free MySpace Layouts
