Okay, first off this is going to be wordy! I believe in putting my cards on the table (smile)
I heard once you know you have a great relationship when you have found someone that causes you to be better than you were by yourself. That is what I desire. I'm not out to change another, but hoping to enhance both of our lives with whom I have developed into.
A friend who has known me many years had this to say about me: "great giggles, sweet smiles, friendly, smart, aware and sensitive, loving, sensual, full of mischief, creative, prettier than you expect, voluptuous, and a real curvaceous woman!"
The Old Masters of the Art World would have been thrilled with me as their model.

I am a professional portrait artist who is succeeding in making a living for my child and I. I enjoy living and learning, and believe strongly in prayer. I don't fear adversity in my life because I have learned it brings greater growth and freedom.

I believe in being honest, keeping my word, respecting the boundaries of others, and the bond of friendship. I don't believe in arguing, over powering the will of another, breaking promises, or emotional controlling.

I have traveled and lived in the orient and the south pacific for most of my life. I moved to texas 6 years ago because of family. I am a woman who has found peace and balance within whom I am. I am not looking for you just for your money, or for a man to take care of me emotionally but for a companion. I have learned that we can't read each other's mind and that when you accept a friend into your life, you accept all that is there about them without trying to change them.

If you are looking for a relationship that is founded in companionship first then I may be your woman. If you are looking for a fast romance then please don?t waste your time.

There are times I can feel so very close but yet still out of my reach. I am finally at that spot on my life's path that I am ready for you. I know your out there looking for me also, I have felt you in my life for years!

I truly believe what the scriptures tells us that God will not allow the Prophets to lead us astray. I have a strong testimony of prayer and The Priesthood of God.

I am a portrait artist and so enjoy fine art.

I very much enjoy swimming, exploring new places and things, I attended as a merchant Mountain Men Rendezvous, Renaissance Fairs, Native American Pow Wows. and Art Fairs. I have everything it takes to camp out pre-1850.

I enjoy being very feminine but at the same time have learned that I can build a fire, hammer 2 feet stakes into the ground for a tent and tackle a misbehaving 90lb dog. There surely is a time and place for everything.

My favorite reading is Frank Herbert's DUNE and I really enjoy the movies that have been made of that book. I don't watch a lot of TV but I do enjoy shows and movies that deal with what may be reality, (reality based fiction?) shows that let the mind wonder what this existence is all about.

I enjoy music that is classical, jazz/blues, old musicals. I really enjoy Barbra Striesand's music, Gershwin, Bocelli, and the 3 tenors. I wake to Rachmaninov in the mornings. And I house clean to Twisted Sisters. And other times listen to Gladys Knight
