I am continually inspired to live this creative life. I can't imagine ever retiring! I love communicating feelings and ideas to others through all of my investigations! I'm in the process of writing and illustrating a children's book right now and I'm enjoying the added element of expressing ideas along with creating the illustrations. When I'm not painting, I'm enjoying simply being alive! Its always the little things that matter to me the most. Family, friends, walks, talks, cooking, gardening, eating, laughing, sleeping.... that's what truly makes the world amazing!
