About Me

I am an artist. I like to paint, draw, write, cook, learn, figure things out, put things together, pick peoples' brains then put them together. I like to meditate and think about life, the universe, and how it all came to be and how it may not all be as it appears. I like to imagine what will happen one day when we all have to start over and if I'm ready for that day. I like to share myself with other people and I like it when they can share back. I dream of starting a library of autobiographies of everyone in the world since everyone who has ever lived has something important to say and I believe we could learn from their story if we chose to. I am idealistic and moody; I dream of utopia and believe in all the things that most people think can never happen, but will, in fact, happen if we all want it badly enough. And most of all, i am a mother to a beautiful child--the biggest responsibility any human being can have.
