Interests
I am an avid world traveler and have visited many countries in Europe, Asia and the Middle East
I enjoy art, so painting is a skill I use often when traveling to scenic places My favorite artist is Monet, whose home is in Giverny, France It is in Provence, which has some of the amazing scenic views for my recreations on canvas It's understandable why the impressionist spent so much time there
When not painting, I perform as a jazz singer in different venues around the City and abroad I also enjoy opera, but only wish I had the gift to perform it I leave that to the trained performers from the Metropolitan Opera, where I can be found when I am not working
