About Me

I'm 25 and I'm majoring in Studio Painting at Western Washington University. I love the color red, pepper on everything, ketchup, jamming on the piano and long walks on the beach. I am very interested in abstract art, and art from other cultures. My dream is to travel the world, especially Italy, where I hope to learn how to restore old paintings. I've been to Russia, Sweden, Denmark, and Mexico. Plus, I've lived in Canada which is almost like another world in itself. I love their Ketchup Chips!

My Interests

art, music, dancing, going out with friends, and anything I feel like being interested in at the moment....I'm definitely a travelin' girl too, I love adventure, spur of the moment adventure.

I'd like to meet:

The beautiful people from around the world, like my little sis Renae-check out her myspace page. I also want to meet Scarlett Johansson, Janis Joplin (when I'm dead) and you-only if you're beautiful! hahaha :) I'm looking for some cool christian artists that want to play music and make art with me. Christian art minded males would be great to meet--that's a rare-ity at a liberal arts college.
♥Scarlett Johansson

Music:

I have to say if I'm going to listen to anything at all I prefer the classics---this stuff is what I grew up on! Janis Joplin, Black Sabbath, Elton John, Led Zepplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Jerry Lee Lewis, Patsy Cline,Joan Baez, Louis Armstrong, Loretta Lynn, Fats Domino, Dusty Springfield, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Crosby, Stills and Nash, The Shangri-Las, The Who, The Guess Who, Pink Floyd....more and more...Also, I dont care what anyone else says, the WHITE STRIPES are my band of this generation. My prize posessions are my vinyl albums-I own 75 +. I don't like Rap or Hip-hop very much, I can stand country sometimes, but rarely. ♥The White Strips
The Shangri- Las
♥Bessie Smith
♥Clara Bow
♥Greta Garbo

Movies:

I love old black and white film noirs...and I have a great respect for some of the original leading actresses to grace the camera in the 20s and 30s...Clara, Greta and Jean are some of my favorites. Also, Scarlett Johannson--she's got something I havent seen in an actress in a long time--maybe its that voice! And I will never give up my love for Betty Boop.

Television:

I don't own a television--I'm too broke. I grew up not really watching it either. It doesnt take much to entertain me anyway....there's a lot for me to experience before I die. ♥BETTY BOOP! ♥Jean Harlow

Books:

I am fascinated with people's lives so I would have to say autobiographies...and any book on art. I just got one on Picasso, and now I am wishing I hadn't given away my copy on the work of M.C. Escher--he's a genius to be taken seriously.

Heroes:

My dad, an amazing artist, and my mama for putting up with me all these years, my sisters, for their love, and my brother for being a real genuine dorkus.

I want spring break to feel like spring break

Sometimes I really hate Washington. I think its mostly the weather. I can't stand being cooped up in the house, but I hate being wet out in the rain. Recently I've been checking out grad schools out o...
