CURRENT MISSION

make the most of it.

ABOUT ME

I live in a mid size city in the beautiful Pacific Northwest in the shadow of Mt. Rainier. I also spend time at my cabin in the San Juan Islands where love to walk with my two dogs on the beach and look for sea glass and rocks that have something to say. I'm an artist and am self-employed as a massage therapist. I am currently working on my Masters Degree. Besides my dogs (Cowboy Genius and Ursa Fishpaw) I have a cat named Baby Otto who rules the house.

PHILOSOPHY

All the freaky people make the beauty of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 14 I spent three weeks trekking through Nepal. Even at the time, I knew I would never be the same. So many of the things I experienced have shaped the person I am today. Namaste!
