Pull up a chair and get comfortable.  I am an artist and author.

I am a parent to four wonderful sons who have given me a run for my money!  I am an author of fiction stories and an illustrator of fanciful things.  I am to the point of obsession, a photographer. I have been a healthcare professional.  But, most of all, I am a curious person.   I wonder about things, places, and the behavior of people.  I adore quirky and unusual.  All of those life experiences and personality traits have allowed me to collect a wealth of adventures to share with you.

Each post will introduce you to an artifact I have collected or inherited, or a thought that has sparked my interest, or an update on my artful projects. From there we launch into finding out more about that item or question. Now don’t you go thinking this is a blog about research and is going to be boring.  I am not that lucky to follow a boring path.  “Stuff” always happens to me. Left turns pop up.  Bumps in the road trip me up.  Unexpected things jump out.  Life is always interesting for me and I enjoy finding the humor in it.  I hope my blog will make you smile as I share my first hand accounts of discovery with you!
