Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Sitka, 48 year old

Date men and women from Alaska, United States. I would describe myself as very easy going, honest and intelligent. I am very healthy, both phisically and mentally. I'm patient, non judgemental and I have been told by many that I am a very nice person.
I am at peace with myself, and with the world. Even though there is a lot of horrible things that happen in this world.
I come from a large family and I am used to the chaos (both good and bad) that comes from being tied to people who are unique and individual.
I'm creative and interested in lots of different things. I am very energetic and I thrive on new challenges, however I would not describe myself as being very competitive. I am a bit of a perfectionest with my work. However I also realize that perfection is an unatainable goal. I like to try new things and I am open to new ideas. I've been involved in the visual Arts since childhood. I work in ceramics, sculpture and woodworking.
I enjoy going to the performing Arts. In Sitka, I'll go see just about anything live. My music tastes range from rock and blues to folk to jazz and classical. I like forign and independantly made movies. In my opinion, very little that Hollywood produces is worth watching. Television is even worse.
I don't follow sports, however I occasionally will go to local events to watch kids that I know compete.
As far as what I am looking for in a woman:
I'm looking for someone who is nice, healthy and honest (both with others and themselves).
I appreciate women who are intelligent and strong. I have several sisters that I would describe that way.
Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humor.
