Hobbies
My interests include reading biographies and historical non-fiction and fiction, and poetry. Art is my business but photography is one of my hobbies that I enjoy on a non-competitive level. Live theater, concerts, movies and music are part of my lifestyle as well playing and singing music, piano, keyboard and guitar. Classical, folk, jazz, r & b, soft rock and roll, and Broadway musicals are my repertoire. When I can, traveling rounds out my main interests including the California coast, and most of the USA. Future plans include more travel abroad. I love to spend time in social medias including Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest where I have family/friends around the world. Sharing and exchanging ideas and having live conversations with these friends are an important part of my day. Conversations with bi-lingual neighbors is a very important weekly pastime of mine.
