My Bio
I am 30, I enjoy traveling to, and living in, new places, and I usually end up moving about once or twice a year. I also enjoy beer, motorcycles, philosophy, and good conversations.

Currently I am living in Tennessee, but I will be moving to Montana within the month. I have also lived in Utah, Hawaii, California, and China, I have traveled through many countries as well. I have been a bartender, a school teacher, a manager at a startup while in silicon valley, a waitress, a vagabond, a chiropractic assistant, an extra for the tv show "lost", a failed inventor/entrepreneur(several times now), and always I am an artist.

After a couple of months in Montana I am wanting to visit Italy for at least a month, maybe longer. I want to see and paint Antarctica after Italy, I havent worked out the details for that trip yet.

Follow me on twitter.com/sjjart to see my newest shinanigans and art.

I also love foreign languages and am conversationally fluent in Mandarin Chinese, I can understand and lightly converse in Japanese, I can still understand quite a bit of German and Arabic though I can no longer speak them. Currently I am learning ancient Chinese(oracle bone script), and Italian.
