I was born a cheerful person, for which I am extremely & everlastingly grateful. I am interested in all things art (I include architecture, man I saw some great Antoni Gaudi stuff in Spain!!!). I am home mostly, except when I go take classes periodically--I like to learn all kinds of new stuff; history, writers, ???, keeps my mind and artwork fresh. I really like going to our local Buddhist center for meditation and classes. Oh, and I like poetry. Really love Frank O'Hara. Billy Collins.
