Pisces

Being a Pisces, I embrace a diversity of identities:
*pacifist *androgynist *bisexual *pescetarian *aspiring Buddhist *atheist *missionary and naturally enjoy activities engaging with water:   sailing, paddle boarding, swimming, and snorkeling.

Qualities I find vital in relationship: intuition, empathy, open-mindedness,  kindness, solitude, communion.

Some of my favorite books and authors are Geraldine Brooks, The Overstory by Richard Powers, Ruth Ozeki, and Annie Ernaux (in French), Accordion Crimes by E. Annie Proulx, State of Terror by Hillary Rodham Clinton with Louise Penny.

Reveling in photography with cameras and cellphone, acrylic painting, advising friends on home design and making subtle fashion statements, I identify these acts as involving juxtapositions of color, texture, line, mood, flair, flow.  My cameras catch moments of still life or dynamic compositions of nature, portraiture, and travelogue.  When rarely I draw or paint, I have copied a Chagall painting, captured a focal area of a sculpture, painted photos of beautiful scenery.
