Sustainable. Active. Life.

I enjoy traveling and meeting people from other cultures. I believe that if we all take time to understand someone else's cultural perspectives, the world would be a more peaceful place. As an award-winning interior designer, accomplished speaker, artist, and writer, I continually challenge myself to move beyond my own comfort zone.

In September and October 2013, I had two oil paintings in an abstract art show at the Brickton Art Center.  They are titled "Storm's End" and "Sorting It All Out."
