About Me

Hello, I'm Elizabeth Azpurua! Welcome to my MySpace! I hope you enjoy all the art!
I live in the mountains of Tennessee and absolutely love the area and all the trees, especially in autumn. I love nature and animals, but spend most of my time indoors reading and writing. I'm an aspiring author and my life revolves around that passion. I finished my novel and I'm trying to get published. I have a job with a wedding company, Everlasting Memories, working in the office as well as assisting in weddings with the photography and also serving punch and cake during receptions.
I'm concerned about the earth and I try to appreciate the beauty all around me; it inspires me in writing and in drawing. From the sound of birds to the way light filters through the leaves, I enjoy being able to sit and soak in the inspiration all around me. I love to read history, especially history concerning the Celts; the Welsh in particular. I do genealogy in my spare time and learn about my ancestors; from them I have gained much. I'm pretty much an eccentric soul that is very open minded. I am a Mormon, but I have an appreciation for the Old Ways and I believe in the powers of nature, the spirits of the trees and I wear Lapis Lazuli and collect crystals and stones. I try to find the truth in all things. I'm grateful for my amazing family that supports me and accepts all of my oddities. They put up with all of my strange ideas and encourage me to keep doing what I love.

My Interests

I love paintings by John William Waterhouse, and Pierre A Cot. I also love Kinuko Y Craft's work and I've recently discovered Linda Bergkvist's paintings. I love to find new painters...and I keep adding their paintings to my profile so that everyone can enjoy them.
By Luis Royo
"Autumn Gypsy" by Laura Y. Law

I love to read history books and anything thought provoking, but especially Fantasy. I write fantasy. I love to identify trees and am starting to learn flower and plant species as well. I'm trying to learn Welsh. Other than that, I'm an Enrique Iglesias fan, I still love Sailor Moon and I'm actually concerned about Global Warming.
My favorite painting by Pierre Auguste Cot entitled "Le Printemps" or "Springtime". It's also called "The Swing".
"All My Hate" by Melanie Delon

I'd like to meet:

..


OK, so I'm a huge fan of Enrique Iglesias and I'd love to meet him. I'd love to meet Laurell K. Hamilton and Jacqueline Carey, but I'm also interested in meeting other writers and aspiring authors; people who love art; people who care about the planet (trees, animals, the environment as a whole) and those with a love for the Celts (my ancestors).
This painting entitled "Spoiled" is by Linda Bergkvist. It's my favorite painting by her. Humanity is held in the arms of nature.
Another by Linda - this is called "Gone"
