illusivejoy

I am a therapist by trade but an artist at heart, trying to make more room for joy and love in every piece of my life. I try to have a good sense of humor about things and stay in touch with my wild side! My favorite things to do are read, write, and take photos. If I had my education to do over, I would have gone for photography or I would be a writer. I live in the country which I love but spend alot of time in the city because I need the culture and the art. I have two Newfoundland Dogs who are my most favorite thing in the world. I am married to an awesome guy - no kids yet!

It depends on the mood, but hip hop is my favorite.My most listened to playlists on my IPOD right now has classic and southern rock including the new ACDC! I also love female artists like Norah Jones, Allison Krauss, and the Dixie Chicks. The only types of music I am NOT a fan of are very heavy metal, classical, and Ska.

Fabric Art and Graphic Design. I like to make art with fabric, and am expirimenting with that more and more. I also do collage art and i love handmade paper and altered imagery, although I am a newbie at this!! I like playing with images on the computer and making cards and invitations. I also make custom photo videos with music and graphics. I love to play with technology.

Reading is my favorite thing in the world to do. I love fiction because it gives me a break from real life and responsibilities. I also love books around living life fully and in the present moment.

Desperate housewives, LA Ink, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Family Guy and America's Funniest Home Videos.

I love to watch movies, especially anything that makes me laugh out loud. I also love a good documentary that makes me think.
