I am an artist and am seeking a man who is creative --either an artist, a musician or writer or possibly someone who is self employed creating a product that will truly benefit the world in some way. I want someone who makes his own hours but can take some time for me. I love "parallel playing" meaning we each are able to be in the same room and have our own interests and loves but are able to also share what we are doing and be OK about having our individual space. I need for this person to be independent and financially secure as well as spiritually working on himself and is physically fit. I love walking and getting lost and then found. I am a liberal from Berkeley so I like talking politics and I read. Travel is almost number one for me and I travel light--my baggage is carry on.

My first date would be walking in the woods or going to an Oregon beach with a picnic which includes a fantastic bottle of wine or a good IPA and food made by me. I am a gourmet cook. Dessert would be a surprise by you!
