About Me

I’m all about creativity and communication – whether it is visual, verbal, or written. I come from a family of storytellers and as an artist, writer and photographer, I produce artist-at-large.com, a web site dedicated to art and travel, my two favorite things in the whole wide world.

What is the next…

Purchase you’ll make?

Since I’ve given up on buying a house in California, I’m going to dig deep and buy my next camera, the Canon EOS 5D and a few lenses.

Trend in design?

Making life as portable and simple as possible.

Car you’d like to own?

They haven’t designed it yet! It’s a hybrid VW Camper! I’m probably the only person on the planet who would want one.

Big step you’d like to make?

I’d love to move to another country, preferably to one that doesn’t speak English as a first language. I’ve spent a lot of time in other countries, but I’ve never taken the big plunge of selling everything I own and going for it.

Fad that will fade?

Traveling with reservations.

Vacation you’ll take?

Vacation?

Thing you’re going to fight for?

I’m so tired of fighting, I decided not to do it anymore and I feel much better for it. It doesn’t mean I don’t have opinions or won’t donate my time or my words to any one of the many causes in the world today that might need my help.

Secret that’s going to leak?

I’m not telling!

Hollywood blockbuster going to be about?

Blockbuster? What’s that? I’m more of an indie grrl.

Life you’ll lead?

I was hoping to not come back again but if I have to, I think my next life will pick up where this one leaves off.

Fountain of youth?

For me it’s keeping an interest in new and creative things, eating organic foods, not smoking, meditation, living in the moment, exercise, making art, learning something new everyday, and world travel. (Who would have thought the fountain of youth was so complex?!)

Book you’ll read?

I’ve been waiting patiently for Harry Potter: The Half-Blood Prince to come out in paperback.

Thing that will change the world?

Enlightenment. Yours, mine, ours.

Guilty-pleasure food in which you’ll indulge?

Chocolate! It’s always chocolate! This time, the last time, the next time, it will always be chocolate! Preferably one of the European varieties like Lindt Milk Chocolate bars or Perugina Baci balls.

Person to whom you’ll say, “I love you”?

Probably one of the ones with fur – I have a lot of dogs in my life!
