About Me

I'm an award winning professional visual artist. I like to draw my fellow humans in charcoal or pastel and use symbols, metaphor and surrealistic imagery in my work. I am sometimes a gallery curator and art consultant. I make commissioned portraits.I have three grown independent children and they are amazing. I have 10 siblings and given that fact, I obviously have the best Mom in the world!I am passionate and serious about life and love, but playfulness and a good laugh add spice and fun. I feel happiest being near oceans, rivers, lakes and streams. Dancing free-form is a lifelong passion. I like to stay fit and besides dance, I love walking, hiking and yoga. I sometimes play the Irish drum, but mostly so that I can get into the circle close enough to the musicians to have a better view to sketch them. I like to meet new people and travel. I tend to be kind and gentle and genuinely care about people. I trust my intuition.I started my own cafe/gallery business and that still gets raves but I am ready to switch gears and look forward to spending more time making art! It may be fun to own a gallery, I have enough connections in the art world to make that happen. The world is our oyster, let's dive in! I believe that dating long distance can work if there is a good, strong connection!I enjoy the company of intelligent and creative fun-loving men who are in their element attending cultural events or simply having an evening at home, sharing a bottle of wine and creating slow food together. I look forward to meeting new people and I am interested in finding a life partner. Dating is an important component in making a good match! How about we begin, let's meet for a traditional cappuccino! Well first maybe just a coffee to get a feel for one another. If we click, an ideal first "date" would be to meet for a nice glass of imported wine by candlelight in an elegant and subdued club. Then we could take in an art opening of some really fabulous surrealist paintings where we would meet and have great conversation with interesting and colorful people. Maybe it would be a "happening" sort of place, with live art going on and weird and wonderful live music, spoken word and dancing! Afterwards, small plates at a hip tapas bar. Yes, that would be a dream date, but I would be happy with something a little less spectacular, especially since you are spectacular!

    If you made it here, I passed the photo test - whew! Yes,photos are me and current. I am proud to say that I posses all original body parts. Humor, it is what gets me through each and every day. That and coming home to my 2 dogs waiting for me at the door, it's all about unconditional love, either that or they are just hungry. I hope to find that in a partner, the unconditional love part that is...and someone who loves dogs! I am athletic and enjoy watching and participating in sports and I can also be a girly-girl. You know the whole I can go from jeans and a t-shirt to black dress thing,YES, all photos are current (taken in ***, yes, I am 5'7" and weigh 125ish and yes I am 51.I am told I do not look my age, nor do I act it. Thanks to my Mom and some good old fashioned genetics..Besides my 2 dogs, I have a high school aged son. I have worked in my line of business for 30 years so I think I like what I do.The rest of the story, shoot me a e-mail so I can see if our profiles click and we can begin the journey...-serial dater w/a revolving rolodex. I don't look for anything that I can't also bring to the table. If your idea of quality time is hanging out at clubs every weekend we won't be a good match there are too many other quality things to do and share together I am truly past that part of my life. Dinner and drinks I do for sure! Meet and greet to see if that proverbial chemistry extends beyond our well written profiles. I prefer to do a short/casual meeting at Starbucks or a happy hour (no dinner) somewhere halfway between each of our respective starting points.

    Looking for: man. In age: 50-60

    Life's a journey, not a destination and I would love to find that special man to journey along with me. I love wine and travel; but nothing beats a live NFL game and a hot dog. Actually, I enjoy hiking, working-out, and dancing. I'm a foreign film buff, can’t live without my Kindle, and totally get into home improvement projects. I have an awesome supportive network of close friends and family which are extremely important to me. I thoroughly love my career and enjoy going to work each day. DRAMA FREE! Really just looking for someone who makes me laugh; don't you think we take life to seriously?? I find a sense of humor and intelligence very sexy. If you can free up for short adventures, that’s a plus! Life is great; just looking for someone to share in the good times. First date, that's a tricky one. It would be nice to meet somewhere the two of us could talk and get to know each other without it being too noisy or too secluded. It's always good to meet for coffee or a glass of wine and see where that leads. But doing something fun and active like hiking or bowling is also a great way to get to know someone new and it takes the pressure off the one-on-one vibe but it stills lends itself to conversation. I love going to movies, plays, and concerts, but I wouldn't advise that for a first time date; it's safe, but it doesn't allow you to get to know anything about your date.
