The diversity of human experience causes me to love people. I respect and value all, as we all have challenges and victories throughout our lifetimes. I’m slow to judge and quick to smile. I love our earth and strive to do all that I can to nurture and preserve it. I enjoy organic gardening, long walks with my dog, swimming (lap pool and open water), reading, music and sketching. There’s so much that I long to learn! At the top of the list is; to expand my art into painting, sculpture, pottery and fiber arts. I want to learn sailing, beekeeping and organic gardening strategies.
