I am an intelligent, creative, spiritual, stylish, multi-faceted, right-brain left-brain balanced, artgineer. I am 5' 1" barefoot but am frequently found wearing boots with high heels. I am outgoing and gregarious, but I also have an introspective and quiet side. Patient and nurturing. Have been known to be mischievous. I am steadfast and faithful. I have integrity and a sense of fair play. I love to learn. I enjoy art, travel and music . . . everything from Stevie Ray Vaughn to Caetano Veloso and Sigur Ros, Ryuichi Sakamoto to Tom Waits and Staind. I love to laugh and have lingering conversations about life, the universe and your favorite dessert. I am a technical writer and illustrator for a lighting company, an assemblage jewelry creator, a freelance product developer, and a web designer. I sell my urban artwear jewelry at various galleries in Southern California. I enjoy the excitement of exploring thrift stores for artifacts, giving small dinner parties, partaking in any visually and intellectually stimulating activity that involves art, music and/or film. I eat a healthy diet and have maintained an exercise program for the last 20 years. I have been able to maintain my weight at 100-104 pounds. Currently I bike, walk, do step aerobics, taebo, light weight training, and I take hatha and kundalini yoga classes. Once in awhile I join a group for nature hikes in the local hills. I choose friends who have at least some strengths, virtues and/or talents beyond mine. Together we help each other grow through open communication and supportive behavior. I avoid negative/self-destructive people. I think friendship is something that evolves over time and that friends are works in progress. Friendships over time create trust, comfort, safety, understanding, caring and take a long time to build. Friendships are also based on respect and responsible behavior, consistancy and genuinely caring about the other person. Honesty is extremely important. One might as well put it all on the table and be appreciated and appraised for who you really are . . . not someone you feel you need to be to satisfy another. THINGS I LIKE - Kieslowski - John Malkovich - Gene Kelly - La Traviata - Six Feet Under - Psychology Today - Van Gogh - David Sedaris - Charles Bukowski - Memoirs Of A Geisha - Jodie Foster - Elle Decor - Discover - Philip Glass - Douglas Adams - Dante's Divine Comedy - Beethovan and Chopin - LACMA - KCRW - riding the Metro - sushi and moichi - sipping green tea as the morning sun streams in my loft - redwood forests - freshly cut flowers - evergreens peaking out through fog caps - the smell of the earth, trees and ocean - reading biographies - sound of rain - monogamy - flickering candlelight - the sounds of the birds outside my studio window - long scenic rides in trains - smell of sage growing wild - driving in the moonlight with snow falling through the open sun roof - waking up next to my lover - tending my loft garden of succulents - the smell of fresh sheets - the lingering scent of my lover - Living with my eyes, ears and mind open - REGRETS -
not having walked above the canopy in the Brazilian rainforest - the
inability to let go of all my material possessions - the banal tatoo
I got 20 years ago (no I wasn't drunk) - not yet seeing the salmon
run - not being blessed with children -
I can (and do) rewire electrical fixtures and use power tools. I enjoy interior decorating with my personal tastes leaning towards Japanese minimalism and eclecticism. I am a creative cook of international disciplines. In my bedroom you will find: a tender yet passionate kisser, the flicker of burning candles, the smell of woodsy and citrusy incense, a blonde Ethan Allan art deco bed, dim lights, books, bamboo, grey, white and mustard colored linens. I volunteer my time and talents for two non-profits helping re-build self-esteem in abused children and battered women. I know which way to turn my wheels when I park on a hill. I wear sunscreen. I play chess, scrabble and gameboy. I don't golf, wear baseball caps or eat crackers in bed. I admit it . . . I can sometimes be caught wearing clogs. THE MAN OF MY DREAMS IS MORE THAN A HEAD, TORSO, TWO ARMS AND LEGS He's truly interested in a committed monogamous relationship based on honesty and trust . . . with no games.
