About Me

About Me
Greetings! I am a fantasy/fairy artist living in Southern California. I also breed horses. My buddy Jess Galbreth, another artist, convinced me to set up this myspace page, so here I am. :) So, the basics:
I'm 38, have two kids and a darling husband. My 16 year old son has a myspace page too. I wonder if he'll add me as a friend or if thats just way uncool???
I currently have 7 horses, plus 3 foals that are with me till their new 'moms' come get them, and few a others I look after. I'm told I'm a pretty successful artist, and since I do actually make some money at it, I guess thats so. You can decide for yourself if you like by viewing my work on my main website.
Toadstool Farm Art
If you'd like to see my horses, I have a website for them too:
Toadstool Farm

Please dont get upset if I dont answer your messages to me. I get so many that it would take up an awful lot of my limited work time to answer them all. I DO read every one though, so please keep them coming. And if there is something important you need from me, you can always email me. Thats the best way to reach me. Thanks! Here are a very few selected pieces of my work for your convenience.

My Interests

Horses,
Art,
Rennaissance Faires,
My children,
My husband,
Horses,
Music,
Anything creative,

I'd like to meet:

Someone who'll work for me for free so I have more time for all this kinda stuff...teehee!I just adopted a rabbit..Every one needs an orange rabbit, you know?

adopt your own virtual pet!

Music:

I'm kinda weird this way. I dont really listen to anything mainstream. I prefer movie scores. Comes from having been married to a rock and roll musician. I got burned out on it. Some faves:
LotRs soundtrack,
Cavallia--my current favorite of all time, cuz its about--you got it--horses!
Braveheart
Chocolat
Edward Scissorhands
Labyrinth-another perennial fave

Movies:

All of the above

Television:

Dont watch it really....

Books:

Anything and everything. Like I said in my interests section, I eat them for breakfast. Put it in front of me and I'll read it.

Heroes:

My husband.
My son.
My daughter. She is only a baby, but I see how hard she works to acheive the next level of her growth and I admire her for that.
Anyone who risks themselves to help someone in need.
