I began painting late in life, and while I have sold several works it is more a hobby than vocation. I am a quilter which allows me to express my creativity in a different way than painting.
I like to read and have a varied interest in history, travel and mysteries. I like whimsy in art and books.
Playing poker is a social activity for me and while I do love a win, I like the people I meet and play with almost as much.
I walk, belong to the Berthoud Rec Center, and last year paraglided off the mountain in Glenwood Springs with my grandson. I am a scuba diver with more than 100 dives in ocean waters.
