CURRENT MISSION

To live life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

I'm a self-supporting artist, a writer, gardener, and now easing out of farming and raising farm animals, except for my chickens. I am currently turning an acre or two into a permaculture edible forest, including fruit trees, berries, vines and vegetables.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life with regard for the planet, but my primary interest is painting realistic scenes. I love seeing and hearing the coyotes, deer, moose, otters, skunk, porcupines and other wildlife. There is nothing more beautiful than the song of the coyote echoing across the salt pond in the evening.

Interests

I am interested in sustainable gardening, knitting, sewing practical things like insulated shades, dogs, cooking, selling eggs, movies and being with people in the creative arts.
