Twenty 5 Things About ME

1. I have never been a group person but think the world of iPeace!

2. I love wind (in this picture maybe it's a bit too much)

3. I've had two photography shows and will be having others....actually I am not even a photographer, that's the ironic part!

4. I play piano by ear and a little guitar, flute, drums, harmonica....would love to try the violin and saxophone.

5. Have thrown the javelin on the Santa Monica beach with my father, brother and sister.

6. I love the crome work on motorcycles and American trucks and really like artistic antique cars.

7. Foreign things have an enormous appeal to me and always have - people, places, music, food, everything.(in the photo here I am dancing around at a beer festival in China)

8. Love jazz, and blues, but also modern music including electronic, and classical and ethnical, some country

9. Designed a shoe/sculpture collection that was shown in New York and Chicago, and Italy

10. I never give up hope in having success with art......just have to be patient and hope to be discovered someday!

11. In order to create I have the ability to totally block out the piles of ironing, and mess surrounding me (as messy as it may get, my work is very orderly!)

12. I live in Italy, speak Italian, knew French but more or less forgot it when I learned Italian.

13. The compliment I enjoyed the most was my good friend's "You make me feel I can totally be myself"

14. I love people who are positive and inspire me - love to do the same for others

17. I will not support any racism and will always stick up for people, help the quieter ones learn to speak up for themselves

18. My dad was in the Olympics and I love keeping in shape. Don't like spectator sports.

19. I love to create, paint, design, write, make sculptures out of anything, invent, solve, come up with the idea solutions for anything creative (the little chocolate lady here was a paper I pressed myself and painted)

20. I love to comunicate especially with super intelligent, creative people

21. Travelling is so wonderful and I realize how lucky I am to do so much of it (often accompany my husband for his work)

22. I feel guilty that I have had such a rich life, traveled so much but don't at all take it for granted and teach that to my two girls

23.Would never kill an insect or any living thing (except for mosquitoes)

24. When I swim, usually twice a week, I usually end up solving some sort of problem that was on my mind.
