I have degrees in psychology, theology and law. I am retired from my professional work which has enabled me to spend my time doing art.

I began sketching and painting in 2008 and have found a latent talent, especially portrait painting. I have had both individual and group art lessons from local artists in Virginia.

Additionally, I have rediscovered my love of reading, especially Sara Douglass, Juliet Marillier, Deborah Harkness and Angie Sage.

Great joy comes both in marriage, motherhood and grandmotherhood. I have an amazing husband and three awesome adult children and three fantastic grandkids.
