For as long as I can remember, I have thought of  myself as an artist and have strived to stay connected to that part of me. The creative process has been an integral part my life while life experiences; travel and nature have influenced my art. I enjoy spending time in museums and historical buildings as well as outdoors and numerous activities including rowing, skiing (both downhill and cross-country), kayaking, golfing, swimming, fishing, running, gardening, hiking…well, you get the "picture".
