BioWell how long do you have?
A Painter by training...but tinker with all things that require some attention of vision and creativity.
I'm versed in art history, oil painting, photography, some film making, constructions that some would call sculpture... or general 3-D multimedia projects (not to be confused with computer graphics- but know a bit about that too) & experiential performance art. Basically well rounded in the Arts... with some educational background to boot. Do i follow that path right now? Yes and No. But that is another story... But let the tag line of Artist Provocateur be your guide to understanding that.
I tend to Believe and View "Life" as one Big Artistic Project that is never ending... the outcome is not so important as the ride... so to speak...
I'm the kind of person, while traveling (which thankfully I have the opportunity to do), will wander off with a sketchbook... do two of three sketches... and completely forget the time... or forget to take pictures with a camera, much to the chagrin of those whom I'm traveling with. I never understood, folks who "tour" with a camera pressed to their noses... If you are there... BE THERE! You Might Learn something!
Life is art and art is life... which relates to my other favorite phase from 4 years of Latin education in High School. ARS LONGA VITA BREVIS
I'm also an Avid reader of Fiction, Mostly women's'/feminist themes.
Non-fiction such as cognitive studies relating to creativity and scientific journals of various topics.
Political history and theological sociology. Nothing beats a good Debate about "religion and politics" on a night out with like minded folks.
And lately, US history pertaining to New Jersey- You see, i'm starting another quest as an amateur historian for my home town.
I enjoy great wit and humor... from the Bawdy to the Mundane. If you can't laugh through Life, your not doing something right!
Will tinker in the garden for nothing better to do... than foil squirrel attacks and Keep Politicians from using eminent domain to build a Donut shop on my property.
This is the GARDEN STATE after all... So I'm attempting to do my part to keep it that way... we really don't need another Strip Mall or McMansion community.
Did this suffice?
When and if I have time... I hope to post interesting tidbits of what I'm "Up To"... Till then,
Be well and stay awake...
