I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a native Californian, a "Valley Girl", who loves being with family and friends and having a good time wherever I happen to be. The small town of Ojai is one of my favorite places to hang out. It's not only a beautiful place, but one of my sisters lives there too! My other sister and my Mom live in the lovely seaside paradise called, Carpinteria. Joshua Tree, Laguna beach and Sequoia National Park are also favorite California places I love. I dream of returning to Maui, a beautiful, peaceful Hawaiian island I have visited several times. I like to paint and work on my mixed media collages and Altered Books. I really enjoy taking art classes and reading art magazines.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

From the Past; Cleopatra, Vincent VanGogh, John Lennon and mY ancestors. From the Present; Barack Obama, Bono, Johnny Depp, Larry Harvey and living artists who inspire me. From the Future; my grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
