CURRENT MISSION

Live it Out.

ABOUT ME

I love art and am always eager to learn more to expand my artistic abilities. I do a variety of artwork that includes: graphic design, illustrations, oil, watercolour and acrylic painting, portraits, pencil sketches, window painting, murals for private, commercial clients, and sometimes even for my home. :)

I wish to travel as much as possible but wishing and dreaming does not always make it happen.
I have that "Thirst for knowledge", seeing different cultures and meeting new people.

I enjoy gardening and being outside. Nature is so beautiful. I like going to and having art exhibitions - its a great way to meet people, experience new kinds of art, be inspired.

There are two loves in my life, my two beautiful daughters and my artwork. Of course my kids come first, but working for myself gives me an opportunity to fit my job into our lives and not the other way around. Money can't buy everything.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to sit at home. There is so much to see.

"Life is drawing without using an eraser"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hosting and surfing! and loving it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meeting and hosting Couch Surfers is the coolest thing! I have hosted several people at my home now. It has been a fantastic experience so far. I couch surfed through Paris, Italy, Poland, maritime provinces of Canada as well as Alberta, British Columbia. We've met awesome people on our way, and we still keep in touch with most of them.

Interests

I love art! of all kinds. I love learning about art, creating art and experiencing art. I enjoy traveling (of course)going and seeing all different kinds of things. I like visiting galleries, museums, parks, etc. I love nature and people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Depending on my mood and setting I enjoy all kinds of music anything from easy listening stuff heard on the local radio stations to dance music, to classic rock or classical music. Of course Chopin is my favourite not just because he was Polish

I enjoy reading but find that I do not have a lot of time to fully indulge in a book. My daughter usually recommends books for me to read. :)

I rarely watch movies, again because there is no time as I am a very active person. When I do watch movies I usually enjoy movies that have something new to offer - a good moral or lesson. I also like just sitting down with my two daughters once in a while and watch whatever movie they choose. (no horror or gory ones though :P)
And of course all the Disneys are always a great choice!
