Haven't got much past 60s and 70 much! Good blues, reggae, and rock n' roll. Like accoustic music that says something emotional too - personal, political or environmental.

Just finished Peter Carey's "Theft a Love Story." It was great !
Not much time for novels with doing research. Reading all the stuff on feminism and feminist art at the moment.

Bit disillusioned with the movie industry at the moment and have been watching more TV series- Westwing, Six Foot Under, Deadwood, Boston Legal, and Carnivale are favourites. Think there is more depth, better writing in good TV.

After twenty years of teaching little kids I have retired to pursue my creativity. Last year I completed Bachelor of Visual Arts and this year I am doing Honours.

I live in Mildura on the Murray River in Australia. It's an area for growing grapes and citrus which is really stressed at the moment through prolonged drought.

I love to travel and have live in lots of places around Australia. I'm here now to be near my daughter and grandchildren.

spring and autumn days spent in tune with nature. Full moon nights. Holidays in Bali. Stimulating conversation with intelligent and creative people. Watching my grandchildren grow. Trips to the city to soak in the culture.

fools,bigots, liars and pretentious people. Blatant disrespect for the environment. Meaningless political rhetoric. Human rights abuse.

Totally immersed in my art, with time out for gardening and the occasional walk along the river. Collecting Australian pottery from 1940-1960.
