About Me


I am a multi media artist. I am an avid Jewelry Designer, I enjoy making jewelry using natural Gemstones, Czechoslovakian Glass, and Sterling Silver. Also, I do oriental inspired watercolor paintings, black and white silver gelatin photography, and digital photography. CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE: www.jlsjewelrydesign.com..

My Interests

Live music, bluegrass, jazz, blues, and the Grateful Dead! I Love it! I also enjoy sitting back and relaxing with friends, going camping, hiking, and taking time to enjoy nature and the absolute beauty surrounding us, which usually goes unnoticed in our daily lives.

I'd like to meet:

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

MySpace Glitter Graphics

Music:

I like a wide variety of music. I am a fan of supporting local Peoria bands and musicians, Creek Road Ramblers, Art of Ill Fusion, Easy Riders, Brainchild, etc. I also love the Grateful Dead, Rusted Root, DMB, Arthur Lee Land, Great American Taxi, Poe, Portishead, Sublime, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Billy Holiday, Evanescience, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Green Mountain Grass, Alan Vasquez, old school Dr. Dre & Snoop, Mozart, Beethoven, and most classical music.

Movies:

I like all types of movies; action, comedy, some documentaries. An older movie I really like is "Pay It Forward" because it gives me hope for the human race, hope that someday there will a change society's lack of respect and care for others. My favorite movie lately is "An Inconvenient Truth", which sheds light on the absolute devastation to our planet that is happening and will continue if our global society does not change. MAKE A DIFFERENCE RECYCLE, REDUCE, & REUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!Also really like Little Miss Sunshine, Run Lola, Run!!
..

Television:

I am addicted to Lost, even if it has become completely drawn out, and somewhat annoying, I just can't wait to find out what happens next! :)

Books:

just finished Picture of Dorian Grey, by Oscar Wilde, starting The Celestine Prophecy (again)

Heroes:

My mother for her strength through a difficult life! The Dalai Lama for all he has done to educate and attempt to change the world.
