Greetings, I'm a 37 y/o artist, writer and creative old soul who loves to use artistic means to explore, discover, inspire and create for self and others. I'm open to learning more about swapping, atc's and other avenues left unexplored until now.

Music goes hand in hand w/my creative and artistic skills. I've played the violin, flute, drums, etc since grade school .I like music that explores different cultures, methods and world views. Some groups I like-HIM, NIN, Eminem, Rhiana, Lady Gaga, Ameythst...etc. The only music genre I don't particularly like is Country;)

I'm a huge fan of all things spiritual, holistic, natural healing, pagan, occult, magick, art, music, culture, painting, metaphysical and paranormal, etc. My favorite authors are Edgar Allen Poe, William Blake, Carl Jung, Deepak Chopra and Gary Zukav....to name a few...Books are like best friends- no matter how long they are in your life, you can learn something new each time you see them!

I love "It's A Wonderful Life" w/James Stewart. I watch it every year around the holiday;) Other than that-I like Dr. Who, Star Trek, House and Criminal Minds....I rarely watch tv or movies, but when I do- I watch it for inspiration or to get me thinking about something...which in turn gets the creative flow going;)

Crochet, Knitting, Weaving, Sculpting, Drawing, Painting-Oil, Watercolor, Acrylic, Jewelry Making, Basket weaving, Photography, Atcs. Artist Journals, Paper Mache, Dance, Music, Creative Writing.....This is the abridged list because the real one could go on and on for days....I also have to work w/my hands-so everything is handmade w/conscious awareness and care. I enjoy the process of creating and bringing a smile to someone's face by giving it away or selling it. I'm currently working on designing a website store.

My Favorite Subjects and Materials-Vintage, Antique, Plants, Nature Objects, Found Objects, Keys, Boxes, Stars, Stickers, Beads,Ribbon, Wire, Mirrors, Papers-glitter, textured, etc. Subjects-Nature, Pagan, Faeries, Elves, Angels, Dragons, Doves, Ravens, Butterflies, Stars, Rainbows, Precious Moments, Emily Strange, Gothic, Victorian, Antique/Vintage,Old Postcards, Love Letters, Photographs, etc...
