Hello friends! I'm a gardener, innkeeper, and portrait painter who lives on a small island in Maine. In my free time, I love to read science fiction (everything from Isaac Asimov to Doctor Who), search for sea glass, watch goofy detective shows, and think about the nature of the Universe. My educational background is in Anthropology; I like to chat about current events, science, culture, philosophy, and art. However, appreciating the beauty of nature is what makes me truly happy.
