CURRENT MISSION

meet others and allow them to warm my heart; inspire and create; eat and share lots of good food!

ABOUT ME

I moved to Nashville to work for a designer, originally from Texas (Austin will always have a place in my heart). I now work in the film industry as a scenic artist, building and painting sets. I ride horses on my days off, long trail rides through the TN countryside. I love to bicycle, cook, dance, teach, and explore. I also love, love, love snow (skiing).

PHILOSOPHY

2009:
we are all connected, we have more in common than one might think. i live my life to give to others and share my passion for personal artistic expression.

2012:
let's ride, eat, relax, and enjoy the life we have right here, right now
