I am a quiet person who enjoys reading, art, writing, and good food. I enjoy time outdoors at the beach or walking and hiking. Even though I am quiet, I like talking to people and enjoy meaningful conversations and laughing with friends. I used to be a ceramic artist and now I'm exploring art in new and old ways, getting back to drawing and painting. I collect vinyl records, art I find at local markets and places I visit, and I'm always looking for new books to read.
