About Me

CURRENT MISSION

self discovery

ABOUT ME

I am an artist who is lucky enough to travel the world making art. I am friendly and open minded and like people to be open and direct. I enjoy discovering new cultural and geological perspectives. The best way I'm able to express my observations, feelings and beliefs is through art (https://www.facebook.com/buglassart/photos_albums).

I have one negative reference. This was an unfortunate experience and my side of the story is different. I don't want to criticise this person here, but can explain the whole story if anyone needs to know.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a socialist at heart. I question everything. I take notice of the small and insignificant. Some times I have to remind myself to do this! Life plan: Say yes.
