Art has been in my heart my whole life. My father was an architect and my mother sewed, knitted and crafted. Childhood memories of pencils, pens, drawings, architecture mini models, designer furniture, patterns, handsewn clothes and craft items influenced my wish to become an artist someday.

After my first career in healthcare and raising three children, I went back to school and became an artist followed by a once in a lifetime opportunity to work for a large entertainment company for many years.

This “All About Me Tree” shares a little more info about who I am.
• Panda bears are my favorite animal and these three represent my children.
• Katsu is my rescued Shiba Inu dog and my shadow.
• I learned to play the ukulele later in life and enjoy making music.
• I enjoy folding origami and learned how to make all kinds of animals.
• I love the sound of wind chimes and this one hangs outside of my kitchen window.
• The cuckoo clock reminds me to keep moving forward and learn new things no matter what age.
