I enjoy researching my family history through the Ancestry website, books, and physical documents, updating my family tree as new information is found. In my home studio, I use different mediums and materials to create artworks and mobiles that highlight my love of horses, exotic animals, natural landscapes, and Fantasy. I love to travel with my husband and two sons to exotic destinations, trying new foods and immersing ourselves in the local culture and historical sites.
