Too many to list... I love art of all kinds and have a sincere appreciation for the artists who devote their lives to creating beautiful things - woodwork, glass, textiles, pottery, etc. Once I've met an artist, I find their art becomes more personal and valuable to me. Collecting art purchased directly from an artist is like surrounding yourself with new friends.
Other artists of any media. Few things are as compelling as a conversation with a creative minded individual.
www.pandora.com - it's the BEST! My current favorite is the Jazz Fusion genre station.
Love Actually, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Thomas Crown Affair, Little Miss Sunshine
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report. Reruns of Northern Exposure are a real treat. When I can catch it I love the BBC's 'Top Gear.'
Mists of Avalon - classic! Just finished 'The Rise of the Creative Class' - a good read.
My parents. My mother for knowing me better than I know myself. My father for loving us as we are.
