I love life with passion and little things make me happy. I guess I just see this place different than most. I dont have a lot of friends for it seems people dont have much time to invest in friendships these days. I keep to myself and my family most of the time. I do like to talk or I have been told I talk too much. I do enjoy people for the most part if they are real and down to earth. If they arent..well lets just say you wont get much of my time. I am good at summing things up so to speak. I have a God given intuition about most situations and about most people. I have been through a lot of experiences in my life, such as love and death of loved ones. Have experienced the miracle of Marriage, giving birth and loss of life within my family. I wouldnt give up any of the good or the bad because it has made me who I am today. I like myself a lot better now than in past years. I am not where I want to be yet and dont know that I will ever get there but what is important to me is that I do keep trying. On another note I wanted to speak of art. Viewing art is kinda like looking at a person you dont know. You can look at the outside and not know a thing about that person. But if you invest the time and look close you will see more than you ever knew was there. I truly feel that art of any kind is really at its best when it forgets its name. For then it can become what the artist meant it to be.Things I hate: Liars, thieves, cheaters, false people, racism, what money does to people, sometimes the government, gas prices, people who judge others, poverty, bad movies, wind on a good hair day, clothes that dont fit, people who try to be someone that they are not, brussle sprouts, flys and mosquitoes, time, and impatience. Things I love: I have an obsession with trees, things that grow, new creations, real moments, real people, truth, peace, quite time, artwork, my children, husband, family, God, pizza, home cooked meals if someone else fixes it, humor, nice teeth, all living creatures, water, sun, stars, moon, good ghost stories, supernatural stuff, interesting people sometimes called weird because they are being real, thinking, intuition, being clean, smell of nature, rain, thunderstorms, snow, dreams, sleep, old people, someone I can learn from, poetry, laughing, Compassion.

Outsider Art The term Outsider Art designates a wide variety of non-mainstream aesthetic expressions by uncommon artists ranging from asylum inmates to retired Baptist preachers. Originally a moniker of European origin, it was an attempt to anglicize and make palatable the artist/collector Jean Dubuffet's term “art brut” or “raw art.” Just after WWII, Dubuffet began collecting drawings, paintings and sculptures made by schizophrenics living in Swiss insane asylums--among them Adolph Wolfli, Aloise Corbaz and Heinrich Anton Mueller--and began promoting their productions as asthetically viable outside the traditional diagnostic purview of the modern psychiatric establishment. The term Outsider Art was imported to America in the 1970’s, appealing to proponents of non-traditional American folk art in the early 1980’s. During the eighties, contemporary American folk artists whose work exhibited elements of an unusually intense creative process, especially Howard Finster, JB Murry, and Bessie Harvey, were presented to the public as Outsider artists. Today, the term Outsider Art is largely market-driven, and is frequently, if uncritically, used to promote and sell the work of any number of artists falling outside the mainstream art world. A more recent and more useful descriptor is “self-taught,” which describes the creative circumstance of non-mainstream artists without judgment, allowing for a more integrated consideration of their contributions to the world of art. Example: Howard Finster was presented as an Outsider artist in the 1980's.
