About Me


Cool MySpace layouts available at Tower Codes
MySpace profile was edited with Tower Codes
I love art. It is the basis for life. Music, I love it, it is in your soul, it moves your body. I graduated with an art history dergree. I hope to go back to grad school and end up working at the Louvre or the Met. I love to travel, learn about new cultures and see all the art I have studied for years. It's so amazing to see a painting up close than in a book. Lived in France for a year, teaching little french kids to speak english. It was quite an expierence, they drove me crazy, but they were really cute singing Yellow Submarine. I love photography, music, books, animals, wine, friends, and some damn good falafel. I've been a vegetarian for 11 years and counting now. I enjoy going to the mountains and hiking around taking pictures. I hope one day I'll find where I'm supposed to be. I would really like to make a difference in whatever I do.
