I'm a pretty simple person, and I find the greatest beauty and simplicity in the outdoors. I'm also a professional artist, which means that backpacking is a lot more affordable for me than golf (plus, apparently cargo shorts, t-shirts, and chacos aren't acceptable on most courses). I'm fairly introverted, and while I can hold my own at a party and talk up a storm with anybody, I prefer more intimate settings free from the noise and distractions that larger crowds come with.

I've spent most of my life in Southern Utah, and while I've far from exhausted it, I've decided to widen my adventure range to the rest of the planet. I'm open to exploring new activities (climbing, mountaineering, mountain biking) that I've so far neglected.

I'm looking for someone to share in these adventures, and ultimately hope to find someone who can not only enjoy these kinds of activities with me, but who might be interested in building a small house to store excess gear in and to occasionally live in. Preferably a patient, fun-loving, cheerful, intellectual woman who can not only get out and get dirty with me, but who'll also occasionally clean up and attend cultural arts events with me.
