Whenever I go on a vacation or roadtrip, there are two things I love to do: check out the art museum and/or local gallery, and visit an arboretum or park. Art is my life's throughline - from studying painting in college to a long career in arts administration (although I'm not longer a practicing artist). Also love gardening, live music, beer on a hot day, and am 100% a liberal, cat person (if there's a jumpy dog I panic). There is no greater gift than a huge belly laugh, and one thing for sure, there is great joy in meeting and learning from new people. I look forward to swapping stories!
