My lifelong interests include creating drawings and paintings that tell stories, and collaborating with my husband Emory to create painting series that are abstract and representational. Emory and I love to live in different cities. In addition to Richmond Virginia, we lived in Hong Kong, Baltimore, Williamsburg, and over 7 years in Anchorage Alaska. My other passions are swimming which I do 4 times a week at the YMCA, spending time with my family which includes our precious furry children and singing in my choir at St Patricks' in Churchill Virginia. I do Gregorian chanting and sing hymns from the 18th century.
