wow- thanks for all the input regarding mn! i'm inteviewing for a job that is about 20 minutes from downtown minneapolis. winter is not my favorite season, but it's quite brutal where i am too....i hate shopping malls and don't gamble, but as long as there are a few great art museums and good cd stores, i'll be fine! what are the two restaurants?! i thought there was only one called everest or something in st paul. thanks for the compliments, sitara. nope, it's just mixed media on paper. mostly watercolors and, like i said, some collage and graphite drawing. i do tend to use geometric shapes quite a bit, but superimposed upon a more fluid background. ahhh- all of this art psycho babble is coming out of me! i must stop....i was actually hoping to have the website up by the end of this month, but alas, mero sathi has been busy and i am a moron when it comes to technology....i'm just proud of myself for learning how to post images here!
