About Me

I am a pretty eclectic gal who is also pretty blessed. I have the best group of friends a person could ask for and also have the most wonderful man in my life who fills my heart with joy every single day and he has a wonderful daughter whom I adore as well. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The University of North Texas School of Visual Arts in Ceramics, although I do all sorts of art, from painting to ceramics and everything in between. I love to read, mostly fiction, especialy historic fiction. I am not currently making my living with my art, although I hope to be able to do that someday (isn't that the dream of all artists?!) I do, however, work for a great company that takes really great care of their employees that has totally earned my loyalty, and still have my art on the side.Animals are one of my great passions, and while I lost one of my great loves, my precious dog of alomst 16 years Thanksgiving of '06, I still have three fabulous cats whom I adore and who make me laugh each and every day. I have recently been blessed to have another dog come into my life who has been called a miracle dog by many. One of my dear friends rescued her from the side of the road and she has gone on to survive heart worms and to unexpectidly deliver a litter of six healthy puppies! I try to keep picutes of all of my special animal friends on my page here and add updates as I can. I love nature, especially the mountians and my dream is to someday combine my love of nature, art, and animals and to live in Colorado in a little compound, surrounded by those I love with lots of animals and make art for a living.... now THAT would be pardise!I also sing with a couple of groups including an acappella group called The Stonhenj Players that performs at Renaissance Faires (which are another HUGE part of my life!). We also do weapons and fighing demonstrations and do a lot of educational events, mainly with kids, teaching them about the Renaissance/Middle Ages and Weapons safety. If you want to see more about what we do, our website is www.stonhenjrenaissance.com My other group is a trio called Calamity Road and we do more folk/bluegrass/mountian music and I got to perform at the North Texas Irish Festival in 2008 for the first time of which I am really proud. I have volunteered for NTIF for nine years, but to actually be on stage there was really cool! I have a very busy, very full life that never stays stagnant and look forward to seeing what comes next!

Sexy Comments & Profile Graphics

I'd like to meet:

These Fainting Goats are Hysterical... this condition does NOT hurt them!! If in doubt... see my blog!The following movie trailer is possibly the funniest one I have ever seen! I first saw it when we rented the movie "1408" and I actually laughed until I cried, so I decided to post it on here and share the laughs.... The only thing that could make it funnier in my opinion would be the tag-line "Every Scotsman's Worst Nightmare..." Enjoy!

Music:

Celtic music of all sorts from Trad to Rock. I love Seven Nations, the late Clandestine (Who I am VERY happy to say has reformed!!) and my dearly beloved, late great sorely missed Blarney Brothers. I also listen to the classic rock stuff I grew up with.

Movies:

True Romance, The LOTR trilogy, PotC, Clerks, Labrynth, Dark Crystal, Thelma and Louise, Gone with the Wind, Pulp Fiction, Smoke Signals, The Lion King, Shrek (especially the 2nd one - I love Puss in Boots!), Slingblade,

Television:

Lost! - I am adicted! Grey's Anatomy, CSI, Ghost Hunters, Monk, Medium, Supernatural, Law and Order, NCIS, Bones, House and The Closer - so glad we have something to watch in the summer! As far as networks I like channels where I actually learn something like Discovery Channel, Hstory Channel, HGTV, A & E, Animal Planet etc. I have a DVR, and think they are the greatest invention ever! Now I can watch what I want, when I want and never have to miss a fave show or let the TV interfere with life!

Books:

The Mists of Avalon is my all time favorite book, although I love just about anything Autherian if it is written well. Mary Sterart's Merlin Trillogy is another fave. And of coarse the LOTR and th Hobbit. I grew up on the Narnia Chronicals and love them too. I am also a big Stephen King Fan, and have literally one entire bookshelf that is nothing but SK. I especially loved the Gunslinger series and was sad when I was done with them. I also Love Harry Potter - what can I say... they are good.... I was recently turned on to Phillipa Gregory who writes extremely good historical fiction which is one of my favorite genras. Who am I kidding?! I just LOVE books! Art Books, Fiction Books, History Books.... BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS!! My only true addiction.....

Heroes:

My special group of best gal pals. They know who they are ;-)
