My hoBBies :)

While I have a wide variety of general interests, my actual range of hobbies is much narrower. My natural curiosity pushes me to read books, magazines, and Internet articles about many subjects but that doesn't necessarily mean all of my activities are related to what I read. I love birds, for instance, yet I am not a bird watcher nor do I belong to any sort of bird club or society.

My list of hobbies includes writing, drawing,making collages, taking photographs, reading, singing, walking, biking, shopping, eating, listening to music, traveling, and visiting theatres, museums, art galleries, libraries, parks, and areas of historical interest. I also regularly attend lectures, panel discussions, and other live presentations about numerous topics.As for drawing, I primarily draw people, particularly female faces, but I doodle just about everything. My drawings are more stylistic than realistic. Like my writing, I also submit my drawings to online and print venues but, unlike my writing, I generally don't receive payment for the illustrations.

 

More often than not, I incorporate my drawings into collages. I have my own special form of art that I call "digital collage," where I combine drawings, magazine & newspaper clippings, and photographyon a computer program (such as Adobe Photoshop) and then edit all of the pieces together to form a scene. I do, however, also make traditional paper and glue collages with images I like in old magazines and newspapers.
