I draw and paint every day, and enjoy painting and drawing people, plants, animals, reptiles, and all living things. I find beauty in all creations, and wonder and magic in the world. I love and collect old, illustrated books, and wanted to write and illustrate childrens books when I grew up. I got old,but avoided growing up and now have postponed it indefinately. I garden, grow roses, love an overgrown wild kind of garden, cook, sew, sculpt, work in stained glass, etched glass, fused glass, and paint in oils, watercolors, and gouache predominately. I like to write when the spirit moves me, and make up tall tales for my God children. I believe in God, but I also believe in witches, wizards, fairies, elves, mythical creatures, dragons,and all sorts of fantastic creatures.
