"Outside of work for the Guild and Gallery, I enjoy chairing the Annual Rotary Art Scholarship and Governor's Art Show among other ventures  through the Rotary Club of Thompson Valley. I can often be found in the garden with my dogs, Sophie and Shadow; or following the ventures of my grandson when I'm not traveling to present or install NSG public artwork. With each placement, our family grows as art truly connects, and the people I have been fortunate to work with (artists, clients, city commissioners, etc) become close friends. I am doing what I love and hope it shows in the designs and placements we create."
