I'm an artist living in Northern California. At this time I'm not accepting couch surfers but I may be soon. I live in the redwoods about 10 mins from the Russian River and wineries. I live with my boyfriend who is a video producer. We're close to the beach, about 20 mins by car. There's a bus that stops just below our house. Our house is a little quirky and rustic. Well, what can you expect from an artist's house? We're situated on the side of a hill and all you can see out the back windows are the redwoods. We don't have any pets. I have an extra room that I am fixing up for guests. I enjoy meeting new people so I think it would be fun to host some couch surfers.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Peter Murphy, Nightwish, 80's new wave bands, Lacuna Coil, some metal like Dio, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, I like Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry. I like some old dance bands like Boney M.

I love reading romantic suspense like Mary Stewart. Other than that, I read just about everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a lot of amazing things. That's a hard one. Well, I guess it was pretty amazing working on a movie set. I was fortunate enough to be picked to work as a stand in for the movie Mrs. Doubtfire and I got to work with some great people like Pierce Brosnan and Robin Williams.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to have anyone in my studio if they want a painting pointer or two.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I can cook okay. I can share some good stories and company?
