About Me

"We don't make mistakes here, we just have happy accidents. We want happy, happy paintings. If you want sad things, watch the news. Everything is possible here. This is your little universe." - Bob Ross

My Interests

Music means a lot to me. I enjoy watching good films on a regular basis. I read when I have the time. I love to cook when the opportunity arises. Japanese food is quite a pleasure.
