Thank you for being here.
I’ve been artistically driven my whole life.
Carrying the heart of an immigrant child, I am fascinated with our beautiful earth, people, and history. Give me all the flora, fauna and rescue pets.
As a visual artist I enjoyed a business, later in life, in editorial and portrait photography, that lasted over 22 years. I was forced to retire during 2020 but continue to love the art and take jobs on occasion.
I hope you find light and honesty mixed into stories, poetry, and opinion pieces. Much of my inspiration comes through music, art, and photography.
The process of creating is the true sustainable gift. Community, engagement and encouragement are also pillars to growing forward as we age.
Through the breath of creativity, I am deeply thankful.
Create to live and live to create.

P.S. My little podcast was under “The Family We Keep” (my former Substack title) up until June 22nd 2025. It’s now under My Unframed Life Podcast :) It’s a lot of fun when I get around to it.
