“I’ve been told that I have a golden and magnetic aura, and love that description which I hope to always live up to. I think of myself as a 68 year old petite woman with the heart and energy of a child. I’m always open and love to embrace new ideas, and creative challenges.”

I love color and movement and playing with figures in action. Also learning new techniques and discovering different ways to use materials is my joint.
