I have three adult "kids", two grandsons, and one granddaughter. They all live several states away so life has become much simpler and our big house (with our two cats, Sam and Ladi Di) is an empty nest just waiting for their visits. My husband of almost 30 years has been my biggest supporter,a wonderful father to our kids, my best friend and soulmate. He always encourages me to be the best that I can be and because of that, I feel I can accomplish anything I set my heart out to do. I don't think I could ever have attempted to create the things I do if not for the inspiration received from him and the rest of my incredibly talented and amazing family. Each one of my children possesses a quality that I strive to emulate both artistically and creatively. They make me proud every day with their ability to achieve their desires and goals and make the world a better place with their presence. I am not quite sure how I got so lucky to have such sensitive, beautiful, bright,intuitive, and talented kids, but they make my heart smile just knowing they came from me! As for my 88 year old mom, my beloved deceased dad and brother, and all four of my sisters, I simply couldn't EXIST without them. They have taught me so much about myself and help me learn valuable lessons everyday just by my knowing and loving them. I am a "younger" retired nurse who was enticed to leave my job of 28 years in a busy hospital due to severe arthritis in my knees and back. I spend my days honing my craft, painting with watercolors & acrylics, searching antique stores for old and unique beads full of pizzazz and past memories so that I recreate them for a newer generation. I love creating art out of old be it painting or jewelry.
I hope by reading a little about my family and my passions, you will have learned a little more about me. Anyone that knows me personally is aware that there is one thing more important to me than anything in the world...they are who gets me through the days, they are who inspire me to be who I am...they are my family, who I love with all my heart!
