About Me

i'm extremely open and loving and generous to all i befriend....i am at the same time very intense which spills over into my art in a good way but makes for a rollarcoaster ride of this life-thing....i have a buddhist philosophy but i am sensual/feeling-oriented and this can cause many a contradiction in how i live life. drawn to extremes with an underlying hedonistic tendency—i am always trying to balance as a good libra should. i am a huge fan of energetic healing and the power of intention in our lives...the less i focus on myself the happier i am and the more the art flows and i can help others... come meet me if u so desire... www.delamenardiere.com
