Happily married (since 1969) to Bill with whom I share a love of many things. I have been a self-employed artist for nearly as long. We have two amazing daughters and sons-in-laws, and two delightful granddaughters, who are cousins.

I love to paint, decorate, travel, hike, play tennis and I ski a bit. I enjoy the company of family and friends, wine and a good scrabble game! I lived in the Canadian Rockies for a very long time, until September 2008 when we moved 2.5 hours away to an agricultural town of 3700 people in SW Alberta. We are between Calgary and Lethbridge affording us a choice of two places to go for a city fix.
