I'm a full time jewelry designer and mixed media artist workshop instructor (odd combo, i know, but that's where the dice fell and that's where the dice have stayed) who is lucky enough to be able to work out of my home and earn an actual living doing this....My sons are just about grown - meaning, one is a senior in college, and the younger is a junior, this dec. of 2008. This makes me proud but sad; i've cherished every moment of life with them and to watch them leaving home is bittersweet indeed.
i love my art, my books, my surrounding mountains and nature, my life. and i have a really, really great dog named aspen - a 15 1/2 year young springer spaniel who is truly my very best friend.
damn it. the stack beside my bed never shortens, but grows., i'm a voracious reader and nature lover - and appreciate a good movie when i can pay enough attention to do it justice. favorite book of all time: to kill a mockingbird... i love to be out in the woods, next to a stream. i love my boys, without condition. i love my dog, without condition. i'm trying to love myself, without condition.
