I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am an artist, both a painter and also a print designer for J.Crew
MySpace CountdownI live in Rye, NY with my husband and 4 (count 'em) cats (not my idea!), but the place I feel most comfortable is Hawaii, and I am interested in all things Hawaiian.On June 15th, I fly to O'ahu for a three week trip that includes attending the Na Hoku Hanohano Awards- sort of a Hawaiian version of the Grammys (but oh so much better music!). I will then be heading to Kaua'i for a family trip culminating in the hanging of my show at ROY'S Restaurant- see above announcement! Hope you can make it if you are traveling to the islands.Oh, and yeah, I'm not REALLY 80- keep em' guessing I say..

My Interests

My hobbies include figure skating, which I took up as an adult, reading- I like classics, but am a big Harry Potter fan as well. I'm addicted to Hawaiian music, but like classical too, and last year I bought a Kamaka ukulele which I am dabbling with.I like sailing, wish I had the opportunity to horseback ride- love sitting at the Halekulani sipping their Mai Tai.. Love gardening, though I don't have enough time to do it right.

I'd like to meet:

Artists, people interested in art, anyone interested in Hawaii, (particularly people who want to help me with the olelo), musicians, or anyone, really. As said above, I am married, so just friends...Lawn Chair + Tiki

Music:

Like I said, Hawaiian. Favorites? Maunalua (Yay!) , Sistah Robi Kahakalau, Sean Na'auao, Hapa (Nathan, you're the man!), Dennis Pavao, Rev. Dennis Kamakahi, Na Palapalai (Miss you guys!!), Ells, Darren Benitez, Makana, Ho'okena, Makaha Sons,Weldon Kekauoha, "and many more"...

Movies:

So I don't see too many movies in the theatre, but Loved Gladiator,LA Confidential, Room with a View, Howard's End. An odd but beautiful movie, Topsy-Turvy, where there are shots like Degas paintings... The best movie ever made? Lawrence of Arabia. Love 4 movies on Sci Fi- The 9th Gate, 13th Warrior, and Army of Darkness, and...Hell Boy

Television:

Love Sci Fi- Battlestar Gallactica,( but hate Stargate), Top Chef, Heroes, Ghost Hunters, Dead Like Me, Mystery!, the Science Channel, not much Network tv. Must confess to a guilty addiction to Dog the Bounty Hunter.The Royal Hawaiian

Books:

Any Dickens, Jane Eyre,Lord of the Rings. Read all 20 Patrick O'Brian novels, anything during Napoleonic Wars, mysteries, Harry Potter. Love the Lemony Snicket books. Hated The DaVinci Code, not a bad premise, but the writing was dreadful.

Heroes:

I don't believe in heroes, I have to pick? Degas, Beethoven, DeBussy, John Singer Sargent, my mother. Oh, and all of our brave and wonderful troops!!!

Nor'Easter

Well, it's the day after the Nor'Easter- we could have had it worse, like bailing out the basement in the dark. Luckily tho, the wind wasn't so bad, so no trees fell and took out the power. Still scoo...
