I am involved in the arts as a professional visual artist and teacher -who opens that process to others. As an avid appreciator of all forms from music, theater and film to dance and the written word -I especially love those with a spiritual message that helps us in our transformations. Learning and teaching are among my greatest pleasures. I love sharing a nice meal -whether cooking or at a great restaurant; and find gardening and what it produces soothes my spirit.
I am very inspired by kindness, compassion, and nature (particularly by the ocean) and enjoy time in beautiful settings -walking/hiking,( but not too great in cold environments!!!!) sharing it with a friend, photographing and/ or painting . Science, the healing arts, and the wisdom and mystical stories of Judaism are also areas I love. I also keep up with current events and have a moderate to liberal view.
I would love to have a special someone with whom to share life -whether traveling to new places /different cultures, a romantic evening, jewish holidays and shabbat,exploring an intriguing idea together or just relaxing at home.
I would like to share a positive, peaceful life with a loving companion -exploring the world with the beauty and surprises it offers.

Helping to improve the world, continuing to tune in and improve the lives of people, and love continuing my own personal growth and spending time in areas that matter most to me- spiritual, health, art and cherished relationships.

Listening, looking, enjoying beauty and truth, and often, creating thoughtful solutions.

My smile and eyes.
