A bit about me.........................

I guess I've always thought of myself as an artist who enjoys so many areas of the fine arts as a means of expression and creativity. I enjoy and have studied painting, sculpture, photography, dance, pottery. I received my first bit of encouragement and recognition as an artist in kindergarten when my water color painting hung in the Principal's office for many months. Now, living in Boone,NC, I discovered Ray's Weather website that posts photographs that he receives daily from people like myself, who submit photos that he chooses to show as 'Photo of the Day'. When you get to be 'Photo of the Day' girl, you really feel great! Ray gives you a sense of great encouragement and you're instantly famous in the area for a day!!

I haven't always been able to be productive with my work though. Life keeps us busy. So many things come to occupy our time: jobs, marriage, child raising, divorce, caring for a love one dying of cancer, grieving, healing, and falling in love once again. But that's alright, because it has made me the very happy, creative, energetic,loving,cosmic, patient lady that I am today.

Almost 2 yrs ago, thanks to a Judy Collins concert, Obie, aka Mark O'Brien, and I have been sharing a wonderful life and his camera together. I thank him and so deeply appreciate him for his loving heart, patience, wisdom, and his enormous energy, that he shares with me daily. Our life together has opened up so many portholes into the beauty and wisdom that life holds. And now I am back to living life in a very creatively expressive way, wanting to share its expressions with all.

Enjoy!
