Location Rural Western, New York, United States
Introduction I live a small, rural community it the heart of Western New York State with my 17 year old son, my sister, her 3 year old daughter, and three cats. I also have a 20 year old son studying music education in college. I stopped working for the corporate world, involuntarily, last August. I've been supporting myself by doing some contractual work for a couple of area non-profits, including graphic design and some administrative work, since then. I am also an artist who does collage and acrylic painting and hand-made jewelry. I've recently decided to focus solely on being self-employed and paying more attention to nurturing my art.

Favorite Movies There are so many. I love Woody Allen movies. I love some documentaries, esp. on artists, like Art21 or Exit Through the Gift Shop. Anything edgy, funny, and with a good story and strong characters. REcently, I watched and enjoyed the Hunger Games, Midnight in Paris, Bridesmaids, Hugo, among others.
Favorite Music I have no particular favorite genre. My best musical experiences are live, especially listening to my sons play piano.
