I have several hobbies other than drawing/painting. I'm nuts about computers and I spend between 6 to 12 hours a day on one either working, playing with various paint programs, creating web pages or playing video games. I like to embroider, camp/hike, read fantasy/science fiction, watch movies, and a few choice TV shows (BUFFY!), white water raft (though I haven't done this in a long time), and spending time with friends. I can be found at either local sci-fi conventions, any number of SCA events in the spring/summer or in dance clubs in the fall/winter.

I have been influenced heavily by many artists. Most consistantly by Olivia, Michael Whelan, Waterhouse, Brian Froud and Keith Parkinson. I love Role Playing Games, both table top and online, and spend a great amount of my time drawing one character portrait after another.

I live in soggy, but green Portland Oregon. When I decide to emerge from my water-proof home I have a variety of activities to keep me busy, including my SCA household Daos, working on my house, performing Raqs Sharqi around the Portland area and club hopping.
