| MUSIC |
Folk, Blues, Jazz, classical: These are my favorite genres! There are too many artists to count. |
| BOOKS |
I read mostly non-fiction; art criticism, current affairs, sociology, psychology and philosophy.
Books that I am currently reading:
French Women Don't get Fat, In Defense of Food (Michael Pollan), The Pact (Jodie Piccoult, the one fictional text that I am reading) |
| MOVIES |
In terms of movies, I don't see as many as I used to, as I sold my television set months ago and where I currently reside there is no cable. (Thank the heavens!) When I do watch movies I prefer independent films that are either dramatic, romantic, comedic or a combination of both! |

| ABOUT ME |
I attended university in northern New York at the State University of New York, College at Potsdam, where I earned my BA in psychology as well as my BFA in painting. I currently reside in Burlington, Vermont where I work for Barnes and Noble as a bookseller. I recently applied to MFA programs in the northeast region and am awaiting results. It is an exciting prospect, considering my future! As I make the transformation from emerging artist into professional status I hope to teach at the collegiate level in addition to pursuing my PhD in contemporary art history. |
| THINGS I LIKE |
hard work, running,positivity, romance, silly behavior, the wilderness, healthy food, those who are environmentally conscious,
In terms of art, I enjoy colorful paintings that exhibit varied brushwork. (preferably portraits). I also enjoy high contrast in all forms of art (2dimensionally speaking). It is necessary in most cases to metaphorically punch your viewer! Working on a larger scale is one of the biggest turn-ons of them all! |
| THINGS I DISLIKE |
laziness, antagonistic individuals, those who are self-righteous, holding grudges, the fast food industry, selfishness, arrogance
I am not much of a landscape artist or a proponent of a lot of abstract works like Rothko and other of the like. Beyond the potentially interesting color schemes, there is nothing else to hold my attention. This is not to say I cannot appreciate an Artist's intension but rather to suggest my approval of more traditional art. One thing I disdain is cliche subject matter, which usually entails flowers and landscapes. I know that these are wonderful occurences in nature and can be beautifully rendered through paint; I am just hoping for a little more from my fellow artists! (Please do not percieve me as a hard-*ss, it is just a matter of oppinion.A lot of which I write is a result from my education.) :) |
| HOBBIES |
My biggest hobby is running. I have been running since I was thirteen years old and recently decided to run everyday for the rest of my life. I keep a blog: www.dailyrunner83.blogspot.com. |
