About Me
I am 48, Retired Social Worker due to medical issues. Divorced since 1993. I had two sons, Jason and Matthew. Jason was murdered 1/1/07 at the age of 21. I now focus on art, painting and sketching and drawing most of the time.Work in watercolor, pencil and love watercolor pencils. I also do piece work with objects and combine photos and paintings into them. My work would be considered to be in the Modern Art style, similar works would be by Pollack, Picasso, Kandinsky, Klee, Miro and the likes. I am a true rock and roller at heart, and fronted a punk rock band in the Napa Valley in the early 80's. Was raised on opera (mom was an Opera Singer) and still love it, but listen to Joe Jackson, Joss Stone and Lou Reed daily. What a mixed bag of nuts I am. I have a Mini-Chihuahua who is 1 1/2 years old named Isabella, 'Bella' for short who was a gift from a friend last Thanksgiving. My son and I just rented an old house (split into apts) and just recently moved in so I am working on turning it into a home.

Interests
Art, music, travel, friends, reading (especially a good murder mystery), old movies(especially Hitchcock)and anything by Quentin Tarrentino. I love history and read about Egypt and the Roman Empire and love topics on the monarchy of England. My favorite movie in the whole world is Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. I am a coffee nut, I love to find beans that are really oily and dark as night, Yummy. To me, if it is not a dark roast, it might as well be tea. So Italian Roast, French Roast, Espresso or a nice Sumatra are the best for me. I love going to thrift stores and digging around, my friends say I have the best luck in them because I always find something fab.I love Modern Art and I paint and sketch for relaxation. I also sew (just made all the curtains for my house) and recently finished a patchwork quilt made of all my son Jason's clothes as well as his son Jr's baby clothes. I then had all friends and family donate something to put in it and painted their names into those squares. It took about 9 months to finish. The backing is sheets that I found in a thrift store, Sesame Street Babies. Which was what Jason's nursery was done in in 1985, perfect. I am currently working on a piece involving old windows and photo's. I guess you could say I am eclectic, although nuts or crazy would be a good word for me also.
