I am younger in spirit and energy than my age. I love adventure, exploration, experimentation, creativity. I am a professional visual artist with a long history of art shows. Other activities include photography, design, (architectural & interior), carpentry, boating, swimming, walking, traveling, treasure hunting, cooking, reading, music,(mostly classical and ethnic), spending time with friends and family. In order to successfully navigate this journey called life, I find a sense of humor, honesty, integrity, flexibility, and the capacity to love important. Of course companionship of the compatible sort adds so much more. I would love to meet someone with confidence enough to respect the individuality of others, to see situations in a positive enough light to seek solutions that work for all involved. Strong enough to be open and vulnerable and able to relinquish control when necessary and beneficial. There is much to enjoy! Sometimes taking a chance is well worth the effort!
