One quote rings true and constant to me; Art is Life and Life is Art.I am passionate, creative, intense (or so I'm told), fun and driven. I make Art everyday & I prefer to surround myself with only creatives. I write poetry, and short essays in my journal, I have directed a TV commercial, and had photographs that I shot run as billboards and full page in Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitin, TV Guide, Glamour , and People Magazines.I Believe that the outlawing of a plant is as ridiculous as anything our government has ever done.I have more female friends than male, I am cooperative rather than competitive and the people in my life tend to be the same. You'll never find us "watching the game", more often we're making our own game up.I was a photographer in the U.S. Navy and had a "Top Secret" clearance for 10 years. I've travelled extensively throught the Orient.I love theatre and have played the lead in over 15 plays and musicals, both profesionally and semi-profesionally. I have written and am currently producing a full length multimedia theatrical piece on the Death Penalty, entitled "Assuming Room Temperature". Although I'm no longer married, I love children, and have 2 of my own in whose lives I am deeply involved, Jacob 8 & Caroline 6.My right arm is covered in tattoos and I will get many more.When it's over, I want to say-"All my life, I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. When it is over, I don't want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real. I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument. I don't want to end up simply having visited this world."I LOVE the way kilts look on women.Money pisses me off. Selfishness pisses me off. Boring people piss me off. Playing safe makes me sick.I believe that.... "The intensity of the experience determines its worth."
