I am 58 years old and the mother of two grown sons. One is married, the other is not. To my dismay, there are no grandchildren! I am also Mom to four cats: a very furry orange tabby named Tank, two tuxedos named Mustacho and Raisin, and the baby, and, an all black named Lucky Bustard!

I am an artist. For many years I was a potter. I no longer have my studio as I recently donated it to an Art Center. I now focus on sewing, quilting and painting with water colors and acrylics. I teach art workshops through BrightStARTS, an organization which puts artists in afterschool programs in Baltimore City.

I graduated from The College of Notre Dame of Maryland, now known as Notre Dame University of Maryland, with a Bachelors Degree in Religious Studies with a concentration in Art.

I am vegetarian, eating organic as much as possible. I am not vegan, which means I do eat eggs and cheese and milk.

I am also green. I use only natural products for everything for household cleaning, bath and body, candles, vitamins. No artificial scents or chemicals.

I love everything holiday and dress for every holiday. I make holiday clothes and love costume jewelry for the holidays and year round.

I love bright colors. I wear reading glasses and have a selection of beaded eyeglass holders which I match to my outfits!
